This URL does not point at the repo that you seem to be planning on packaging, which I'd guess would be: https://github.com/uddhavphatak/swan/commits/main/ > * License : Apache 2.0 > Programming Lang: C > Description : The PDF Swiss-Army CLI > Swan is a lightweight, fast, and dependency-minimal command-line toolkit > for PDF manipulation, built entirely in C on top of PDFio. > It provides a set of powerful subcommands to merge, split, reorder, inspect, > and generate PDFs — all under a permissive license. The name seems like a mistake to me, because it doesn't tell one anything about the software at all. I'd assume that many people's first thought when seeing 'swan' is that it's got something to do with IPv6 encryption (e.g. strongswan). Running `apt search swiss.army` gives 14 packages that mention Swiss army in their description (I doubt that's a complete list) with the one that's closest to using that as its name being 'swaks', which at least devotes one letter of it's name (the second 's') to standing for 'SMTP', so it's making a tiny effort to say what it is in its name -- it also has the advantage of being usefully searchable, which 'swan' is not. This software is _very_ young for packaging as a Debian package. The repo contains 3 commits (from October) with only one of those touching the code (the other 2 being license related). Does this do anything that pdftk does not? Cheers, Phil. -- Philip Hands -- https://hands.com/~phil
