** Description changed:

+ Status update:
+ * We are very close to a release in Debian.
+ * We have a willing developer to sponsor it.
+ * It's now maintained by debian-gnome team: 
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-gnome/packages/unstable/libgxps/
+ * Package release was blocked by a libarchive bug: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=662603 (now fixed)
+ * I have created a PPA for evince-xps: 
https://launchpad.net/~medigeek/+archive/evince-xps/
+ 
+ Note: The evince version in ubuntu 11.10 oneiric ocelot doesn't work with xps 
(segmentation fault when opening the file) and there are several packages to be 
backported. I've decided not to backport it. It works in ubuntu 12.04 precise 
pangolin.
+ If you need to read an xps file, package libgxps-utils provides enough 
conversion tools, e.g. command: xpstopdf myfile.xps

  libgxps is a GObject based library for handling and rendering XPS
  documents.
  
  I was prompted to file a new bug for libgxps and a request to package it, 
because it's required by evince to render xps documents:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/375038
  
  A preview package was uploaded at that bug report:
