Description Cristian Ciupitu 2013-07-31 02:00:24 UTC
Description of problem:
/etc/mime.types doesn't have Matroska MIME types.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mailcap-2.1.41-1.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. grep -i matroska /etc/mime.types 

Actual results:
nothing

Expected results:
Some MIME types.

Additional info:
Quoting from http://matroska.org/technical/specs/notes.html#MIME

There is no IETF endorsed MIME type for Matroska files. But you can use the ones we have defined on our web server :

    .mka : Matroska audio audio/x-matroska
    .mkv : Matroska video video/x-matroska
    .mk3d : Matroska 3D video video/x-matroska-3d

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2013-09-08 07:28:26 UTC
Adding private types like these is usually frowned upon, but done upstream anyway.
