Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: oltma...@zib.de * Package name : libjwat-java Version : 1.2.1 * URL : https://sbforge.org/display/JWAT/JWAT * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Java Description : Java Web Archive Toolkit
A collection of libraries to use for reading, writing and validating ARC, WARC and GZip files. Also includes various helper classes to help with different types of input streams. Finally there are also classes to help with HTTP, character encoding and other Internet related protocols. Additional information: - Why is this package useful/relevant? The binary Debian package of JHOVE, a java tool for format-specific identification, validation, and characterisation of digital objects, currently lacks support for EPUB, GZIP, PNG, and WARC files due to a missing dependency. Adding libjwat-java to the Debian archive as requested in this bug report would make it possible to ship JHOVE including those extra modules with Debian too. See: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037934 - How do you plan to maintain it? At Zuse Intstitute Berlin, we have prepared debian/* packaging files for an initial upload. These will be made available in a follow up to this bug report. We are looking for a sponsor, however, as there is no Debian developer in our team. Specifically, I am hoping for support by the Debian Java Maintainers because they are looking after the JHOVE package in Debian. As explained above, extending the capabilities of JHOVE is the main reason for filing this bug report.
