Public bug reported: Availability: In universe, builds for all archs.
Rationale: Background is that xenial-proposed has suomi-malaga 2.0 (a bit obsolete source name, as it's no longer malaga based - binary was and is voikko-fi), which switches using "malaga" to using "foma" as the tool for creating VFST based dictionary logic. The VFST backend in libvoikko was declared stable by upstream last year and malaga is now obsoleted. foma includes a finite state compiler and library. No part of foma will be a runtime dependency in for example the default desktop installation - for purposes of main packages depending on it, it is only used during the build time of suomi-malaga 2.0. malaga source package can be dropped from main if foma is promoted to main. xenial-proposed currently has suomi-malaga 2.0 and libreoffice- voikko 5.0 pending on this change, as well as bug #1544447 with a debdiff to merge libvoikko 4.0.1 if foma is just made available. Security: No known security history. No daemons or services. foma-bin includes the finite state compiler tools. Quality assurance: No bugs open in Ubuntu or Debian, but it is a fresh package. The latest version is part of xenial and upcoming Debian release. Dependencies: All build dependencies are in main. Standard compliance: Packaging seems compliant. Maintenance: Upstream development has continued for 5 years, and the software can be considered mature. I'm technically the maintainer but it happens that while I was packaging foma also Debian Science Team was doing their own packaging (https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian- science/packages/foma.git/) and they hadn't filed an ITP. It is a requirement for them too as part of a larger effort to package HFST and Apertium related packages. The maintainership can be formally transferred to Debian Science Team later, but for now the related active Science Team members are included in uploaders. ** Affects: foma (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544453 Title: [MIR] foma To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foma/+bug/1544453/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
