Bug#171351: RFA: xmlto -- XML-to-any converter
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2002-12-01
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the xmlto package.
I posted recently about orphaning it on -devel and got a few
answers but nobody adopted it yet. I consider this package important for
debian but feel that I lack sgml and TeX knowledge to package it.
I hope somebody will take care of it. Most bugs (I believe all) are
fixed in the new upstream release. Unfortunately I am unable to get the
last release to produce any output file. The upstream author is helpful
but I am sure I am missing something obvious.
If you want to adopt it, go forward and upload the current package after
closing this RFA bug and changing the maintainer address.
Thanks,
Chistophe
The package description is:
xmlto is a front-end to an XSL toolchain. It chooses an appropriate
stylesheet for the conversion you want and applies it using an
external XSL-T processor. It also performs any necessary
post-processing.
Currently the only XSL-T processor that is supported is xsltproc,
from Daniel Veillard's libxslt package.
Supported conversions from DocBook XML: dvi, fo, html, html-nochunks,
man, pdf, ps, txt.
Supported conversions from XSL-FO: dvi, pdf, ps.
For DVI, PDF and PostScript output, Sebastian Rahtz's PassiveTeX is
required.
