Secure testing team - Apr 2010 - 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.

		Regards, Axel
