Request to adopt and document an offical MIME Type
It can useful, specifically in the case of SBOMs, to associate a MIME Type with a given package.
If we presume the file aaudit-0.7.2-r2.apk
would be also represented as pkg:apk/aaudit@0.7.2-r2
we would also want a mime-type to differentiate it from an Android package (e.g. application/vnd.android.package-archive
).
I would suggest, according to RFC-6838, application/vnd.alpine.package-archive
or similar and it is registered to the IANA
Some examples:
- deb is
application/vnd.debian.binary-package
- rpm is
application/x-rpm
