doc/bugs/remove_orphaned_sparkline-php_from_Suggests.mdwn



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]]
