Hello, I wrote earlier on 03 Jul 2006: > I would like someone to sponsor an adoption/hijacking or NMU'ing > of a more recent version of "dvipng" than is available in the Debian > archive. (Package description: dvipng -- convert PNG graphics from DVI files) I have not received any responses. A slightly amended version is at: http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/dvipng/dvipng_1.8-0.2.diff.gz http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/dvipng/dvipng_1.8-0.2.dsc http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/dvipng/dvipng_1.8.orig.tar.gz Some points to note: 1. dvipng in Debian is version 1.5 while upstream is 1.8. According to upstream's response to #366946 is in the process of preparing 1.9! 2. The NMU would close #330540, #346181, #327130 and #346084 in addition to #338807 (which asks for packaging 1.7). 3. popcon of dvipng is at 1062. 4. There is no response from the maintainer. Perhaps he is MIA. 5. I am willing to adopt this package with a new maintainer version if the package is actually orphaned. Regards, Kapil. --
