ITP: libtext-charwidth-perl, libtext-wrapi18n-perl
Hi,
(Please Cc: me.)
I'd like to upload these two Perl modules. Though I wrote these modules
myself to be used by debconf, I will upload these modules to CPAN and
these packages won't be debian-specific package.
See a thread of discussion in debian-i18n list starting from:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2003/debian-i18n-200306/msg00012.html
Package: libtext-charwidth-perl
Description: Get width of characters on terminal
This module permits perl softwares to get the width of characters
and strings on terminal, using wcwidth() and wcswidth() in C.
.
It provides mbwidth(), mbswidth(), and mblen().
License: perl
Package: libtext-wrapi18n-perl
Description: International substitution of Text::Wrap
This module intends to substitute Text::Wrap, which supports
multibyte characters such as UTF-8, EUC-JP, and GB2312, fullwidth
characters such as east Asian characters, combining characters
such as diacritical marks and Thai, and languages which don't
use whitespaces between words such as Chinese and Japanese.
.
It provides wrap().
License: perl
Since these packages have to be Depends:ed by debconf package,
Priority: of these packages have to be important. (Joey and I
have agreed on this point, please see the debian-i18n thread.)
Test releases (needing brush-up) are already available at
