[Secure-testing-team] Package wml contains yet another ancient embedded code copy of txt2html
Hi, I just noticed that WML contains yet another embedded code copy which is not listed at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/secure-testing/data/embedded-code-copies?op=file The wml source package currently contains and uses txt2html 1.28 (dated 2000/05/22 23:44:58) as published as last version by its original author. He gave the project away and it''s nowadays hosted at SourceForge. Debian''s txt2html package version 2.51 is probably from there. JFTR: As I may have already mentioned, the next upload of wml (I''m adopting the package currently) will no more use the embedded code copy of libgd2 as well as removing all unused embedded code copies from the source package by repackaging. If the newer txt2html version doesn''t break wml, I''ll probably remove that embedded code copies from the wml source package, too.
