  Description : lightweight jQuery internationalization plugin

 Lightweight jQuery plugin for providing internationalization to JavaScript
 from ‘.properties’ files, just like in Java Resource Bundles. It loads
 and parses resource bundles (.properties) based on provided language
 and country codes (ISO-639 and ISO-3166) or language reported by browser.
 .
 This jQuery plugin is a required dependency for the already uploaded
 OpenBoard (at the time of testing and packaging, jquery-i18n-properties
 had been in Debian, however, it got removed some months ago which did
 not catch my intention).
 .
 Thus, re-uploading (with a much newer upstream version).


This library seems unmaintained: last commit 4 years ago. I don't think
it's a good thing to upload such library in Debian.



I am aware of this. Rather than sneaking in the code (it is bundled in  
OpenBoard upstream's Git repo), I'd prefer to ship  
jquery-i18n-properties it a separate package in Debian.


During the Debian 12 release cycle I will need to bring up the topic  
of many many old and unmaintained Javascript / jQuery dependencies /  
bundled code portions in OpenBoard. I hope to get OpenBoard upstream  
to a point that they either take over those Javascript projects and  
maintain them or that they drop the dependencies.


For the meantime, I'll be happy to keep jquery-i18n-properties  
up-to-date in Debian as pseudo-upstream. (I could also fork the  
upstream Git repo on Github, but for now, I'd prefer to use the  
existing Github repo as upstream).


Greets,
Mike

Hi,

it was just a warning, do as you see fit ;-)

This library seems unmaintained: last commit 4 years ago. I don't think
