Re: MBF: transition from texi2html to texinfo



As a final notice, unless I get any objections (there have been none so
far), I plan to go forward with the MBF at 03:00UTC on 2013-05-29. As
explained on the Texi2htmlTransition wiki page[0], if you are
unwilling/unable to transition to texinfo due to missing math rendering,
please mark your bug as blocking on http://bugs.debian.org/710171 .

I've settled on severity `minor'. Earlier today, I thought of severity
`wishlist', but this is neither a feature request nor a bug that is "very
difficult to fix due to major design considerations", but rather "a problem
which doesn't affect the package's usefulness, and is presumably trivial to
fix"[1].

Dear maintainer,

[ This is an automated bug report, submitted as part of the mass bug
  filing discussed at
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/05/msg01516.html ]

The package `texi2html` on which #PACKAGE# build-depends is
unmaintained upstream and destined to be removed from the archive in
the near future. Unless your package makes use of texi2html
functionality not yet provided by `makeinfo' utility from the
texinfo package, e.g. rendering @math blocks as images in HTML
output, please update your package to use `makeinfo' instead. More
details may be found at http://wiki.debian.org/Texi2htmlTransition .

Thanks for considering,
Best wishes.
