TranscriberAG: successor of Transcriber as a Debian/Ubuntu package




Dear ftpmasters, package developers and maintainers,

The Transcriber package (http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/transcriber.html) was removed last year.
The reasons were:
Please remove transcriber:
- orphaned for more than 3.5 years, last maintainer upload in 2005
- dead upstream (last release from 2005, according to the sourceforce page a complete rewrite was planned in 2008)
- minimal popcon
        source : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595993

TranscriberAG (http://transag.sourceforge.net) is the successor of Transcriber and has been released as an open source software (GPLv3) last July.
Compilation as is was successful under Ubuntu 10.4 and 10.10 and went okay with a patch under Ubuntu 11.04 (information available here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4E35D2B5.4020104%40vista.se&forum_name=transag-general).

We would be very pleased to see a TranscriberAG package be part of the repositories as many people, especially from the research community, hope after the removal of the Transcriber package.

Please feel free to contact me (busson@users.sourceforge.net) should you require any further information.

Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards,

Bastien Busson
