- Packages which provide the ability to view/show/play,
- compose, edit or print MIME types should register themselves
- as such following the current MIME support policy.
+ Packages which provide programs to view/show/play, compose, edit or
+ print MIME types should register them as such by placing a file in
+ format (RFC 1524) in the directory
+ /usr/lib/mime/packages/. The file name should be the

The mime-support package provides the
- update-mime program which allows packages to
- register programs that can show, compose, edit or print
- MIME types.

-
- Packages containing such programs must register them
- with update-mime as documented in . They should not depend
- on, recommend, or suggest mime-support. Instead,
- they should just put something like the following in the
- postinst and postrm scripts:
-

- if [ -x /usr/sbin/update-mime ]; then
- update-mime

+ update-mime program, which integrates these
+ registrations in the /etc/mailcap file, using Dpkg
+ triggers
+ Creating, modifying or removing a file in
+ /usr/lib/mime/packages/ using maintainer scripts will
+ not activate the trigger. In that case, it can be done by calling
+ dpkg-trigger --no-await --by-package=<me> /usr/lib/mime/packages,
+ where <me> is the name of the package.
+ .
+ Packages using this facility should not depend on,
+ recommend, or suggest mime-support.
