Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the pdf2htmlex package.

The package description is:
 pdf2htmlEX converts PDF to HTML while retaining text, format and style as much
 as possible by making use of HTML5, JavaScript and modern CSS features.
 Even difficult content like PDFs with embedded fonts, multicolumn documents,
 scientific papers with complicated figures and mathematical formulas will
 mostly be represented correctly. Fallback mode generates HTML pages which
 do not require any JavaScript to view them correctly at the expense of a
 larger file size.

Upstream has been looking for a new maintainer for nearly two years now:

http://pdf2htmlex.blogspot.com/2016/12/looking-for-new-maintainer.html

An upstream bug indicates that nobody new has been found:

https://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX/issues/726

The last commit by upstream was Dec 11, 2016:

https://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX/commits/master

But the package suffers from two RC bugs:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=883525

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=878598

Fixing these problems requires a deep understanding of the software
which I do not have nor the time to acquire it.

I'm thus orphaning the package in the hopes that somebody else picks up
the pieces.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
