RFS: cconv -- A iconv based simplified-traditional chinese conversion tool
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package cconv. * Package name: cconv Version : 0.5.2-1 Upstream Author : 杨建禹 httpqu...@sina.com.cn * URL : http://code.google.com/p/cconv/ * License : GPLv2 Section : text It builds these binary packages: cconv - iconv based simplified-traditional chinese conversion tool cconv-dev - iconv based simplified-traditional chinese conversion tool (development files) This tool is useful to convert all existing Chinese WML files for the Debian website from Big5 to UTF-8. Examples: $ echo 内存，海内存知已，後天，皇后 | cconv -f utf-8 -t utf8-tw 記憶體，海內存知已，後天，皇后 The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 528319. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cconv - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cconv/cconv_0.5.2-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
