I have just uploaded css2xslfo into pkg-java git (thanks to Sylvestre for adding me so quickly). In brief, css2xslfo is a tool for converting an HTML/XML+CSS document to XSL-FO; this is mainly useful in order to pass it to another tool (such as Apache FOP) to convert the XSL-FO into some final display format such as PDF.
I think the package is ready for upload now, but as this is my first Java package in Debian, and there are one or two tricky aspects to how the package works, I would very much appreciate a review by a more experienced Java packager. In particular, the main issue with this package is that upstream has taken the W3C sac/flute library, and modified it extensively for their own needs (adding CSS 3 support, among other things). Fortunately they have provided the source code for their modifications, and I believe there are no licensing issues here, but since I cannot use the Debian libflute-java, I've opted to build their modified version during the package build, and include it directly in the resulting JAR for css2xslfo. It is possible that the Debian libsac-java/libflute-java could be updated to the css2xslfo versions; the library seems dead upstream (last release from W3C was in 2002). On the other hand, I have no idea whether any of the css2xslfo modifications have backwards-compatibility issues, and css2xslfo upstream is not very active themselves (last release in 2010); on top of this, the modified libraries are not distributed in a very prominent way. -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
