** 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/
+ Please sync libgxps 0.2.1-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)
  
- 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
+ Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
+ It's maintained by the Debian GNOME Team.
+ 
+ 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
+ 
+ Or you can convert an xps file to PDF using the libgxps-utils  package 
libgxps-util
+ e.g. command: xpstopdf myfile.xps
+ 
+ I have created a PPA for evince-xps:
+ https://launchpad.net/~medigeek/+archive/evince-xps/
