Bug#619846: RFA: sam2p -- convert raster images to EPS, PDF, and other formats
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Due to lack of time, I request an adopter for the sam2p package.
The package description is:
sam2p is a command line utility that converts many raster
(bitmap) image formats like GIF, JPG/JPEG, and PNG into
PostScript or PDF files. PS or EPS files created by sam2p are
usually not much larger than the source file.
The importance of sam2p has decreased a lot with the rise of
pdflatex. Still, it's a useful utility for creating efficient
EPS files.
Upstream has been mostly inactive for some time.
sam2p has a tendency to FTBFS with most major new gcc releases.
Therefore, the new maintainer should have some C++ knowledge
and the ability/willingness to dig into some hand-crafted build
system.
