Subject: Please switch away from c2man (to e.g. doxygen)

Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2005 21:08:13 +0100

Package: libvformat
Version: 1.13-3
Severity: wishlist

Please switch away from c2man and use something else, for example doxygen.

In http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2003/10/msg00019.html Manoj
Srivastava pointed out that, "c2man has been dead upstream for years
(which was, so far, not a problem), and does not work with modern
C/C++ programs -- which _is_ a problem. The functionality has been
superseded with packages like doxygen".  He wanted to remove c2man
back then (October 2003) but couldn't because some (but few) programs
still used it.

I'm now filing wishlist bugs on these three packages.  Once you have
migrated to doxygen (or something else), I will ask for the removal of
c2man.

Any status of this?  Is upstream actually still active (doesn't seem
so)?

I am working on this, will be done this year. 

Upstream is occasionally active. At least answers questions.

BTW, a GNOME hacker is going to work on some kind of vcard library too.
While I assume it'll be GNOME specific, he's collecting vcards for a
test suite, and maybe this package can make use of this test
suite/collection of vcards too.

See http://www.burtonini.com/blog//computers/vcards-2005-10-14-16-20

(BTW, Ross, the "mail me" link in that blog entry is broken:
