Package: xmlto
Version: 0.0.25.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
xmlto epub generates a "mimetype" file that contains a newline at the
end. The requirement, however, is a mimetype file just with the string
"application/epub+zip", as one can test with the "epubcheck" program:
(on the developers-reference package)
$ xmlto epub index.dbk
$ epubcheck index.epub
produces an error
Validating against EPUB version 2.0
ERROR: index.epub/mimetype:
Mimetype file should contain only the string "application/epub+zip".
The applied patch fixes this; the problem is however in upstream.
