Package: docvert-libreoffice
Version: 4.0+dfsg-1
Severity: wishtlist

Hi,

docvert is outdated in Debian. Debian contains a 4.0+dfsg-1
while looking on http://static.holloway.co.nz/docvert/news.html
the have been releases:

Docvert 6   2nd April 2014

    Ported Docvert to Python 3!

Docvert 5.2   2nd February 2014

    Bugfixes.

Docvert 5.1   16th August 2011

    Improved list handling.
    Improved UI.
    Feature parity with Docvert 4.0 (for conversions)

Docvert 5.0   28th March 2011

    Ported Docvert to Python
    Security improvements
    Speed improvements

Docvert 4.0 Beta 1   November 8th 2010

Here's the download page

    Improved support for EMF/WMF (requires PyODConverter with OOo Server)
    Replacing crappy homebrewed XML parser with SimpleXML. Should work 
identically, if you need the old behaviour then there's 
deprecated_xmlStringToArray()
    Minor bugfixes to PyODConverter.

PLEASE NOTE: PyODConverter with OOo Server is strongly recommended, all other 
converters are now deprecated and may be removed in the future. Save yourself 
the hassle and move now. 

Note that there never was a 4.0 (but only a 4.0 beta1, so the Version
string in Debian is wrong).

Anyways, from what I see there

the

"Security improvements" and
"Ported Docvert to Python 3"

fall into my mind. The latter one is the fix for #707340 which gets us
nearer to the removal of the legacy python-uno...

Regards,

Rene
