In #825236, Giulio asked me about uploading phonetisaurus to unstable.If I were the maintainer, I would hesitate to make such upload until the following is done:
I forgot one thing:* phonetisaurus-calculateER should escape arguments before passing them to shell. Or, better, it should use the subprocess module instead of os.system().
They are alive (latest commit in their repository is from 3 months ago), although they have not made any proper release since a long time.* 1001_fix_binaries_return_values.patch is accepted upstream. (Are they alive?)
Hmm, I had a look at the repo. "!WARNING: In Flux!"[0] and "What happened to this project?"[1] don't make me confident that this software is mature enough for a stable Debian release...
