Subject: [ITA/P] a2ps, libpaper
Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:47:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1320432417.7560.27.camel@YAAKOV04> (raw)

The Cygwin a2ps package is currently out of date and depends on the
ancient libintl2, and furthermore the maintainer hasn't been heard from
in years[1].  I think it's fair to call this orphaned at this point.

While I have no particular attachment to this package, as I do have a
working copy in Ports, I might as well ITA it:

ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/release-2/a2ps/

Since this a2ps package uses libpaper, which is not yet in the distro,
I'll ITP that now:

ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/release-2/libpaper/

libpaper, while maintained by Debian, is found in all major distros.
