Keep maintaining the package in Debian and get the program back to the distribution #38

Open jsbien opened 4 years ago

Just get a message the package is removed from unstable because Daniel Stender retired and orphaned the package ( #945183).

I still use the program on Debian.

The package was also removed because it is python2 only. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora will all be removing python2 packages in their upcoming releases:

See related issue #39

I've retired from Debian package maintenance. Sorry.

jsbien commented 4 years ago

There are two separate issues. Adapting the program to python3 and packaging it for Debian. As for the latter, I can submit Request to Package and see what will happen. What about the former? Would you like to contribute? Regards and thanks for your work - Janusz

Can do for the debian side. But need porting to python3

rmast commented 2 years ago

@jsbien There are 4 forks with ports to Python3 in the network graph

I see the discussion is continued in https://github.com/jwilk/ocrodjvu/issues/39
