Description Nagy Tibor 2021-10-14 03:31:24 UTC 
SUMMARY
The mime-info database has some definitions for binary patch file formats that Breeze currently doesn't support. The first two formats, IPS and BPS are mainly used to patch video games to avoid legal troubles distributing the original non-free binaries. Bsdiff is a high-efficiency binary patcher.

They could be supported with minimal effort by symlinking them to the text/x-patch icon. The merge symbol on that existing icon would work perfectly for binary patches as well. If you think plaintext and binary patch files needs some differentiation, text/x-patch could be color swapped.

Affected MIME types:
application/x-ips-patch
application/x-bps-patch
application/x-bsdiff
