If just getting standalone t1lib out of the archive is the goal, I don't mind incorporating all of the existing t1lib patches into the embedded copy. As grace is almost exclusively used to plot locally-supplied numeric data, and is not in any way practical to use in a network setting, it has minimal security risk vs. some other former users of t1lib like php5. If getting t1lib in all its forms out of the archive is the goal, then yes, grace would have to be removed. Rewriting it is not practical and there doesn't seem to be anyone with the time + desire + skillset to adopt t1lib. However, there's also no real replacement for grace itself available. -- Nicholas Breen nbr...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
