Package: zpaq
Version: zpaq/1.10-1

Reason for close:

After 1.10 the zpaq infrastructure changed radically. It was
split into library part and client part. Furthermore the
extensive manual pages written from scratch for the 1.x would had
to be redone for newer releases. It was not possible to merge in
changes.

The situation is comparable to apache 1.x and 2.x line of
development. The Apache 2 is a rewrite and not upgradeable in
source level.

I suggest that somebody opens a RFP (request for package)
for "zpaq-new" that is based on the new infrastructure. The
starts from scratch and write all the associated manual pages.
When a new package is ready the 1.x version can be made obsolete.

There are no viable solutions or possible upgrade paths as far as
I can see to move any further, therefore closing this bug.
