Package: wml
Version: 2.0.11ds1-0.4
Severity: normal

Hi,

While thewml.org still seems to be the official website of WML, it's
horribly out of date and partially broken. The new upstream maintainer
opened a Berlios project for WML at [1] which seems to be at least up
to date, so I suggest to use that web page as referenced website in
the Homepage control field as well as for the debian/watch file.

There is even a new upstream version (2.0.12) available[2] which fixes
issues with Perl 5.10, newer autotools and a CVE. Although I do expect
that most of this has been patched in Debian already, too. At least
that CVE has been fixed in Debian with 2.0.11-1etch2 and
2.0.11ds1-0.2.

2.0.12 is from April 2008 though, so I would check in SVN[3] what has
been added or fixed after the release.

>From WML's dependencies (of which most come with WML in embedded code
copies not used by Debian), most of them are up to date in Debian with
the exception of iselect, which has 1.3.1 in Debian while 1.4.0 is
available, see #470755.
