Bug#4261: Ghostview -- needs MIME entry

["Brian C. White" <bcwhite@verisim.com>]

Package: ghostview
Version: 1.5-8

Ghostview should install itself into the /etc/mailcap entry so mime
compatible programs can use it to view postscript documents.

I suggest making ghostview "Recommends: mime-support" and adding the
following to the install scripts:

debian.postinst
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if [ -x /usr/sbin/install-mime ]
then
  install-mime	--install --package=ghostview --content=application/postscript \
		--description="Postscript Formatted Output" --nametemplate="%s.ps" \
		--test='test "$DISPLAY" != ""' \
		--view='/usr/bin/X11/ghostview %s' \
		--comment="Ghostview is a fairly good front-end for viewing postscript \
			   and should probably be given a reasonably high priority."
fi

debian.prerm
~~~~~~~~~~~~
if [ -x /usr/sbin/install-mime ]
then
  install-mime --remove --package=ghostview
fi


For more information, please see the "install-mime" man page.
