Bug#702925: Replace cups-specific mime.types/libcupsmime with libmagic
Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-2.15
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.types
Tags: upstream
I came across mime.types / libcupsmime and my immediate reaction is
"why is cups doing this, when libmagic already provides a perfectly
good library and database of MIME type heuristics?"
There's probably a reason, but I couldn't work it out from a brief
search. I'm creating this ticket in case nobody has ever thought of
this before.
