Description:

xclip 0.12 was released in 2009. Since then a critical feature was added. The -t option provides the ability to specify the MIME type of what is pasted to the clipboard. The latest source code has that option.

It is unclear when xclip will release a new version. Ubuntu already compiles from source and has the -t option by default enabled. It would be nice, if archlinux also supported it.


Steps to reproduce:

1) date > /tmp/bla
2) echo /tmp/bla | xclip -i -selection clipboard -t text/uri-list
