Description Christian - Manny Calavera - Neumair 2005-10-01 09:51:03 UTC
We need MIME definitions for compressed postscript, namely for gz2 and bz
compressed ps documents.
Comment 1 Christian - Manny Calavera - Neumair 2005-10-01 09:53:35 UTC
Slight addition: compressed DVI support was also requested.
Comment 2 Olav Vitters 2005-10-01 11:19:54 UTC
application/x-gzpostscript for gzip postscript. I think evince already supports
that.
Comment 3 Christian - Manny Calavera - Neumair 2005-10-01 12:13:27 UTC
However, we lack .ps.bz2, .pdf.gz/bz2 and .dvi.gz/bz2
Comment 4 Bas Zoetekouw 2006-03-15 01:48:47 UTC
Also, eps.gz/bz2 is missing

Suggested mime entries

Attaching a patch with proposed mime entries for those compressed document
formats.  There doesn't seem to be a consistent naming scheme for compressed
mime types in the existing entries, so I settled for application/x-gzpdf,
application/x-bzpdf, application/x-bzpostscript, application/x-gzdvi,
application/x-bzdvi, image/x-gzeps and image/x-bzeps.

It's a nice patch, and it would be nice have it in the freedesktop.org xml.
Comment 7 Guillaume Desmottes 2006-09-04 08:27:35 UTC
Any news about this bug?
It would be really useful to have this one fixed. A lot of documentation in
Debian packages (/usr/share/doc) use .pdf.gz.
