[xmlroff] Debian xmlroff package

[Noah S. <ns...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have been reading about xmlroff with great interest. Everywhere I
looked seemed to state that xmlroff relied on non free libraries and
hence i discounted it original as I am not prepared to tolerate this.

However, it is with great excitement that I read this is no longer the
case. All that remains to be asked is if or when this great piece of
software will appear packaged in Debian's repositories?

Thanks so much!

Noah

p.s. sorry Tony for sending this three times now, only just discovered
this list :)

That hasn't been the case for quite a while.

Looks like I need to make that more obvious.

I don't know.  I personally don't use Debian, so I would have to rely on
someone else to package it.

If it were available, we could point to it from the "Ports" page at
http://xmlroff.org/ports.html.

np.  It's always a pleasure when people are enthusiastic about xmlroff.

Are there any Debian users on the list willing to make an ITP (Intent
To Package) for this software and ultimately becoming the downstream
maintainer of the package?

Thanks,
Noah
