RFS: pdftk (adopting, fixes RC bugs)
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "pdftk" that I am adopting
with the agreement of the previous maintainer Aurélien GÉRÔME.
* Package name : pdftk
Version : 1.41+dfsg-0.1
Upstream Author : Sid Steward <ssteward@accesspdf.com>
* URL : http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/
* License : GPL-2+
Section : text
It builds these binary packages:
pdftk - useful tool for manipulating PDF documents
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 258377, 424920, 461169, 470215, 504014,
504128, 514561, 519466, 533795, 534080, 538252
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pdftk
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pdftk/pdftk_1.41+dfsg-1.dsc
The important changes are:
* Adopted the package with agreement of the previous maintainer
- Thanks for your work Aurélien GÉRÔME!
* DFSG-repack and use extern libitext-java (Closes: #519466)
* Support newer gcj (Closes: #470215, #514561, #534080, #533795, #538252)
* Handle utf8 filenames (Closes: #258377, #504014, #504128)
* Handle utf8-data, CreationDate and ModDate fields in update_info correctly
(Closes: #424920, #461169)
* Rework build system
- minimize dh rules, update dependencies
* Update debian/watch and use created debian/uscan-dfsg-clean.sh
* Clean debian/copyright from itext, use machine-readable format
- upstream uses GPL-2+ (not unversioned GPL)
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
Johann Felix Soden
