Bug#618373: RFA: libhtml-template-perl -- module for using HTML Templates with Perl

[Florian Ernst <florian_ernst@gmx.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libhtml-template-perl package.

The package description is:
 HTML::Template attempts make using HTML templates simple and natural.  It
 extends standard HTML with a few new HTML-esque tags - <TMPL_VAR>,
 <TMPL_LOOP>, <TMPL_INCLUDE>, <TMPL_IF> and <TMPL_ELSE>.  The file
 written with HTML and these new tags is called a template.  It is
 usually saved separate from your script - possibly even created by
 someone else!  Using this module you fill in the values for the
 variables, loops and branches declared in the template.  This allows
 you to separate design - the HTML - from the data, which you generate
 in the Perl script.
 .
 This module allows you to store its cache in shared memory using the
 IPC::SharedCache module, please install libipc-sharedcache-perl if you
 want to make use of this.

Nothing wrong with the package. Packaging is easy, new upstream releases
rarely take place nowadays. All patches have been forwardeded upstream.
The packages could be updated to a new debhelper compatibility level,
and maybe there are some new specifics in the Perl Policy I might have
missed. Basically, I for myself don't use this package anymore.

I'd prefer the new maintainer to keep close ties with the Perl
Maintainers.

Cheers,
Flo
