News for Debian developers
This wiki page collects small news that all developers should know but that are not worth a dedicated mail to debian-devel-announce. When we have collected 5 items, we'll send the content of this wiki page to debian-devel-announce. Follow the template "Example of news" and add your news below it. See /Help for more information on how to write entries.
amd64 most popular architecture according to popcon

Register your media types to the IANA
Please consider registering media types to the IANA before requiring their inclusion in the mime-support package. Simplified registration procedures for vendor and personal trees are being implemented with the update of RFC 4288, that states: it should rarely, if ever, be necessary to use unregistered types. Therefore, use of types in the "x." tree is strongly discouraged. I have confirmed that the process is fairly quick and painless by registering text/vnd.debian.copyright for machine-readable Debian copyright files.
