Hi!

How about to replace sparkline-php from Suggests by a better alternative?

I would like to file a RM bug to get it out of archive. Do you have a better alternative for it? PHP has a lot of them..

Thanks

sparline-php is orphaned in Debian. Upstream, is has seen activity as recently as 11 months ago.

I don't know of a better alternative. I looked at the perl sparkline stuff in CPAN and is was bad enough that the pain of using php from this perl program was a better alternative.

Anyway, it works great; maintaining the sparkline-php package in Debian would certianly be much less work than finding some alternative and rewriting the ikiwiki code to use it, and packaging that alternative and maintaining it in Debian. So your suggestion doesn't make a lot of sense; Debian should just find a maintainer for sparkline-php. --[[Joey]]
