Bug#470766: O: curator -- Turn directories of images into static web content
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the curator package.
In consensus with my sponsor, Andreas Tille, I've come to the conclusion
that Debian would be better of without curator because
a) it's abandoned upstream for a long time now
b) jigl offers a great alternative to curator and has solved a lot of the
shortcomings of curator.
c) popcon results are low.
To be fair to the 27 regular users of curator I'm orphaning the package
to give you a chance to stand up and take it over if you really, really
want to keep it. If nobody steps up very soon I'll request the removal of
curator in early April.
So if you wan't it please take into account that you've to fix every problem
with the curator script on your own. There is nobody avaible upstream to
help you.
I recommend to switch to jigl now and let curator die.
The package description is:
Curator is a powerful script that allows one to generate Web page image
galleries with the intent of displaying photographic images on the Web, or for
a CD-ROM presentation and archiving.
.
It generates static Web pages only - no special configuration or running
scripts are required on the server. The script supports many file formats,
hierarchical directories, thumbnail generation and update, per-image
description file with any attributes, and 'tracks' of images spanning multiple
directories. The templates consist of HTML with embedded Python. Running this
script only requires a recent Python interpreter and the ImageMagick tools.
