Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

These (libxml-ruby and libxslt-ruby) are fairly useful; however,
afaict they are no longer maintained upstream.  
There is a fairly sordid history here; basically, the
original author (Sean Chittenden) stopped maintaining them around 2002
or 2003.  He licensed them under a BSD license (iirc).  In 2003,
Gregoire Lejeune started maintaining libxslt; however, he relicensed the
program under the GPL, and stripped off Sean's copyright information
(violating Sean's license); this is according to Sean, anyways.  At some
point in 2004/2005, someone named Trans Onoma imported them into the
xml-tools [1] repository, but he hasn't worked on them since 2004 or so.
I have no idea whether or not he intends to actively maintain them.

Sid still contains Sean's last releases, from 2002/2003.  I don't know
whether Gregoire's latest version even contains any of Sean's original
code; I no longer have a use for either of these packages, so I haven't
bothered to figure it out.  Whoever takes over these packages should
probably talk to the upstream (or ask on one of the ruby lists) to find
out which will actively be maintained.  Both licenses are problematic
for libraries as well, so maybe simply rewriting them from scratch under
the LGPL or 3-clause BSD would be the best way to go here.

Given the licensing pains and upstream squabbling, as well as the fact
that I don't use them anymore, I'm no longer willing to maintain them.
