Dear Vincent, after reading: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589991 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565626 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=541241 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=545087 I would like to follow the IANA and add the new meda types. However, it is hard to predict the consequences given that Debian packages have evolved for years in an environment where application/x-gzip was absent on purpose, and given on the other hand that some programs are probably going to ignore application/gzip because they hardcode the x- prefix. What is your experience with this ? I can update mime-support in experimental and ask people to test, but this is more on topic for the Jessie development cycle. Please let me know if an upload to Experimental would help, otherwise I propose to wait for Wheezy is released. Also, if we add application/gzip and application/zlib, then I will be reluctant to add the unregistered application/x-gzip type. Can you tell me what you think about this ?
