Bug#1000372: ITP: ocaml-magic-mime -- OCaml library to map filenames to common MIME types
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Stéphane Glondu X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-ocaml-ma...@lists.debian.org * Package name: ocaml-magic-mime Version : 1.2.0 Upstream Author : Anil Madhavapeddy * URL : https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-magic-mime * License : ISC Programming Lang: OCaml Description : OCaml library to map filenames to common MIME types This library contains a database of MIME types that maps filename extensions into MIME types suitable for use in many Internet protocols such as HTTP or e-mail. It is generated from the mime.types file found in Unix systems, but has no dependency on a filesystem since it includes the contents of the database as an ML datastructure. This is a new transitive dependency of ocsigenserver.

A typical Debian system already has two such databases: /etc/mime.types /usr/share/mime/globs I do not mean to challenge you, nor to discourage you, but am merely curious: why a third database? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

As said in the description: "It is generated from the mime.types file found in Unix systems, but has no dependency on a filesystem since it includes the contents of the database as an ML datastructure.". Whether you consider this worthwhile or not is a personal opinion, I guess. Cheers, -- Stéphane
