1 * Issue http://bugs.debian.org/681687
2 ** evince does not work as a pdf viewer because it has no mailcap entry
4 ** Add-back evince.mime
5 ** .desktop to mime converter
8 ** Decline to override RM http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681687#184
10 1. The Technical Committee agrees with Neil McGovern's analysis of
11 the situation regarding evince's missing mime type entry.
13 2. If changes are desirable to our system for dealing with mime
14 type entries and desktop files, including changes to policy or
15 additional automation, these should be made via the usual
16 development and policy amendment processes.
18 A 3. We agree with the Release Team that it is now too late to deploy
19 A such automation in wheezy.
21 B 3. We defer to the Release Team's decision that it is now too late
22 B to deploy such automation in wheezy.
24 4. We do not disagree with the Release Team's assessment that
25 the failure of the evince package to provide a mime type
26 entry is a release critical bug.
28 5. We therefore decline to overrule the Release Team. The bug
29 remains RC against evince.
31 6. The release team should clarify which mime types the RC-bugginess
32 applies to. We recommend that the starting point should be those
33 mime types advertised by evince via the mime system in squeeze.
