Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the pdf2htmlex package.
The package description is: pdf2htmlEX converts PDF to HTML while retaining text, format and style as much as possible by making use of HTML5, JavaScript and modern CSS features. Even difficult content like PDFs with embedded fonts, multicolumn documents, scientific papers with complicated figures and mathematical formulas will mostly be represented correctly. Fallback mode generates HTML pages which do not require any JavaScript to view them correctly at the expense of a larger file size. Upstream has been looking for a new maintainer for nearly two years now: http://pdf2htmlex.blogspot.com/2016/12/looking-for-new-maintainer.html An upstream bug indicates that nobody new has been found: https://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX/issues/726 The last commit by upstream was Dec 11, 2016: https://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX/commits/master But the package suffers from two RC bugs: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=883525 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=878598 Fixing these problems requires a deep understanding of the software which I do not have nor the time to acquire it. I'm thus orphaning the package in the hopes that somebody else picks up the pieces. Thanks! cheers, josch
