Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of tex4ht, Andrew Gray <ajpg@debian.org>,
is apparently not active anymore.  Therefore, I orphan this package
now.  If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Note that Juhapekka Tolvanen <juhtolv@cc.jyu.fi> is maybe interested (or maybe
not) in taking over this package, he is not a DD though.

Description: LaTeX and TeX for Hypertext (HTML)
 TeX4ht is a highly configurable TeX-based authoring system for producing
 hypertext. It interacts with TeX-based applications through style files and
 postprocessors, leaving the processing of the source files to the native TeX
 compiler. Consequently, TeX4ht can handle the features of TeX-based systems
 in general, and of LaTeX in particular.
 .
 TeX4ht can be used both for authoring HTML using TeX/LaTeX input files, or
 for converting existing TeX input files (in any format) into HTML, with
 (usually) only minor modifications.  Other varieties of hypertext can also be
 produced, including XML, XHTML, MathML and the openoffice.org format of XML.
 .
 You will need ghostscript plus the imagemagick suite of programs to convert
 from graphics in DVI files, as output by TeX (via postscript) to GIF, PNG or
 JPEG files.  Alternatively, you could use ghostscript and programs from the
 netpbm package after adjusting TeX4ht's configuration.

Justification: Last seen May 2003, 130 day old RC bug, no ping response in 6
weeks

Juhapekka, just ask on debian-tetex-maint - somebody, probably me, will
be a good candidate for a sponsor.

It is true that I am not a Debian Developer. But I should be doing my
Master's Thesis instead of that Debian package. I have never created
Debian package before.

tex4ht is indeed orphaned; I've added the corresponding WNPP O:
bug #268126 to the CC list. If you consider an NMU, or if you
could adopt it, you'll be blessed by many.

The latest upstream fixes a ton of other bugs,
see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=tex4ht

The upstream was asked by Debian to provide literate sources
(see #244276 tex4ht: source code is obfuscated), and the thing
was marked as a serious policy violation. The upstream
took a considerable effort to do so and provide them at his site, and
his efforts were never acknowledged -- instead the package got
orphaned :( just another b/g info on why it's probably high time
to do an NMU.

I would be happy to sponsor someone taking over this package!  I will
sing your praises if you get it into sarge.

I don't know much about latex, but I have a package that depends on
this package, and I can see a number of the problems with it, so I can
check that they're fixed.  Let me know :)


peace,

And I will be happy to beta-test any unstable version you'd like me to.
Just drop me a note if any testing is needed.
