Bug#951882: O: html2text -- advanced HTML to text converter



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the html2text package.

The package description is:
 html2text is a converter from HTML to plain text.
 .
 html2text reads HTML documents supplied in the command line (or from standard
 input), converts each of them into a stream of plain text characters and
 writes output to the file or the terminal.
 .
 Debian version also can recognize encoding of documents, do on-fly
 input and output recoding.
 .
 html2text was written because the author wasn't happy with the
 output of "lynx -dump" and so he wrote something better.


I only adopted it because it's a reverse depends of munin and as I'm slowly
handing over maintance of munin to Lars Kruse anyway, I dont see the point of 
maintaining html2text anymore. Also the c code is a bit too much for me (as
can be seen by those 3 open bugs with patches which I've never merged as I
wasn't able to fully grok them.)

I'll do one last upload now, setting the maintainer to debian-qa.

cheers,

Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number
of people to continue making enormous amounts of money...  It is the sufferings
of the many  which pay  for the luxuries  of the few...  You say  you love your
children  above all else,  and yet  you are stealing  their future  in front of 
their very eyes...
