Bug#1065736: O: utfcpp -- UTF8-CPP: UTF-8 with C++



Package: wnpp
Control: affects -1 + src:utfcpp
X-Debbugs-Cc: utfcpp@packages.debian.org
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the utfcpp package. This package needs to be better taken
care of.

Upstream has been unfriendly towards providing a header-only library via CMake.
The future plan will be deprecating the CMake buildsystem, which will make
packaging more difficult. Besides, the move from 3.x to 4.x contains some
breaking changes that needs coordination with reverse build-dependencies.

The package description is:
 Simple, portable and lightweight generic library for handling UTF-8 encoded
 strings.
 .
 Features:
  - Iterating through UTF-8 encoded strings
  - Converting between UTF-8 and UTF-16/UTF-32
  - Detecting invalid UTF-8 sequences
 .
 This package provides library development files.
