The modularization is done to have code cleaner for developer. It seems useless for end user or a distribution: we can't imagine having one debian package to build a pdf that include one image and another package if we want the build a pdf to be able to have a different font and another package to be able to build a pdf with accent text, another package to build a pdf with some color, etc... We need only 1 lib to build PDF as most modularized code (a dozen of subproject) are all required. So we should have, I think, one and only one debian package for the set.
Also, this rewriting called 8.0 is still in development and not ready yet, so for the moment, it's "wait and see" when the new version is available. My 2 cents, is that there is so many difference, that it will probably be another/different package into debian. 2016-11-17 16:46 GMT+01:00 Paolo Greppi <paolo.gre...@libpf.com>: > Package: tcpdf > Version: 6.2.12+dfsg2-1 > Severity: minor > > Dear Maintainer, > > The current version of tcpdf in stretch is 6.2.12 which is just one > patch away from the latest one at > https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF/blob/master/CHANGELOG.TXT 6.2.13 > (2016-06-10) > > But this is the "old version"; the website says "A new version ... is > under development at https://github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf and as a > consequence the old version will not receive any additional development > or support." > > The "new version" in the tc-lib-pdf repo is now at 8.0.0 (?) > > It matches this package on packagist: > https://packagist.org/packages/tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf > > From its dependency tee, it appears that it has been modularized: > - tecnickcom/tc-lib-barcode > - tecnickcom/tc-lib-color > - tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf-image > ... > > Are there any plans to move tcpdf to this new version?
