is rumored to have said:
The version at MacPorts is 1.35, which I have installed, but it fails
with:
$* is no longer supported as of Perl 5.30 at /opt/local/bin/txt2html
line 1587
The current version is 2.51, which can be downloaded from Sourceforge
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/txt2html/files/>. Does txt2html have
a maintainer (I don't know how to check that)?
It has none:
$ port info txt2html
txt2html @1.35 (textproc)
Description: txt2html is a Perl program that converts plain text to
HTML.
It supports headings, lists, simple character markup,
hyperlinking,and is highly customizable. It recognizes
some of
the structure of the source document (whitespace,
typographic
layout, etc.), and attempts to mark that structure
explicitly
using HTML.
Homepage: http://www.aigeek.com/txt2html/
Platforms: any
License: BSD
Maintainers: none
I have found that opening a ticket in the project's Trac system (or
opening a pull request on the Github repo if you have a working fix)
attracts the attention of the core team, who rapidly address anything
that's not too arcane, even in ports with no current maintainer. The
txt2html portfile looks extremely simple, so I expect that the update
requires nothing more than updating the version and the hash of the new
version's distribution package.
