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.

Enhancement requests are always welcome in the BTS. However, after four
years and no response it is probably unrealistic to expect the request
to be fulfilled any time soon. The question becomes - should we carry
this bug in the BTS indefinitely? I think not; hence closing. Sorry.
