** Description changed:
- #Stub#
+ [Availability]
+ - The package luit is already in Ubuntu universe.
+ - The package luit build for the architectures it is designed to work on
+ - It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el
+ riscv64 s390x
+ - Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/luit
+
+ [Rationale]
+ - The package luit is required in Ubuntu main for support to
+ transcoding some encodings to the terminal's. E.g.
+ https://xtermjs.org/docs/guides/encoding/.
+
+ - The package luit will not generally be useful for a large part of
+ our user base, but is important/helpful still for legacy setups
+ that already rely on luit.
+
+ - The package luit is a recommends of x11-utils (main) we already support
+ and also xterm (universe).
+ Note: luit was in x11-utils (main) but was broken off to its own package
+ after 7.7+6 as per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-utils/7.7+6.
+ That is 22.04 LTS was had it in main
+
(https://launchpadlibrarian.net/592958282/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.x11-utils_7.7+5build2_BUILDING.txt.gz),
+ so it is OK to take the standalone luit package to main too.
+
+ - There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
+ should go universe->main instead of this.
+ Note: There is iconv but it has at least one limitation, namely it cannot
+ deal with continuous input, rather it needs the whole text, see for instance
+ https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/35662.
+
+ - The binary package luit needs to be in main to continue the support of
+ set ups with legacy encodings.
+
+ - It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
+ package luit in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.
+
+
+ --->
+ #Old stub, to be deleted after confirmation that the above is enough#
This is broken out of x11-utils and thereby should be ok to go to main,
but it actually isn't
part of the same in Jammy:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/592958282/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-
amd64.x11-utils_7.7+5build2_BUILDING.txt.gz
recommends in Noble and later:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/746621535/buildlog_ubuntu-oracular-amd64.x11-utils_7.7+7_BUILDING.txt.gz
The changelog says
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-utils/7.7+6
* Removed luit, which is now packaged separately with a different
upstream (closes: #1006193, #1003021, #1003130, #816289). Added
recommends for that package.
- Same problem in Noble, but there luit didn't exist and hence was
- ignored.
