Bug#1011098: libpaper: Intent to Salvage: update to libpaper 1.2
Reuben Thomas
Severity: important
As per #1010647, I, the upstream maintainer of the a new version of
libpaper, and a Debian Maintainer, offer to take on co-maintainership of
libpaper in order to update it.
I see no activity of any kind on the package for the past 6 months.
I have provided a proposed debdiff as part of #1010647.
The new version of libpaper is API-compatible with the current version,
while improving the user interface for configuring paper sizes. In
particular, it uses the locale paper size provided by glibc, meaning that
most users will not need to configure a size; it allows users to add their
own per-user custom paper sizes; and it provided a more user-friendly
“paper” program to get information about the current configuration and paper
sizes. It fixes many of the currently open bugs, and I am keen to fix all of
them.
