Package: unpaper Version: 7.0.0-0.1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug.unpa...@sideload.33mail.com
The man page states: > Input and output files can be in either .pbm, .pgm or .ppm format, > thus generally in .pnm format, as also used by the Linux scanning > tools scanimage and scanadf. Conversion to PDF can e.g. be > achieved with the Linux tools pgm2tiff, tiffcp and tiff2pdf. > … > unpaper accepts files in PNM format, which means they might be in > .pbm, .pgm, .ppm or .pnm format, which is what is produced by > Linux command line scanning tools such as scanimage and scanadf. The man page clearly states that PNM is the sole input format that unpaper accepts. Yet this bug report reveals that TIFF files are also supported: https://github.com/unpaper/unpaper/issues/230 The man page does not only omit the TIFF capability, it misleads users by suggesting conversion tools for TIFF. Why convert if unpaper handles the format? The bottom of the man page has: ===<8------------------------------ AUTHOR The unpaper authors COPYRIGHT 2022, The unpaper Authors ===<8------------------------------ That’s a bit silly. Did that come from upstream? One author is apparently Diego Elio Pettenò (https://mastodon.social/@flameeyes). An anonymous copyright statement is bizarre. It suggests that the copyright has no defense if someone violates it. It might even be better to remove the copyright section in the absence of solid info. If no one claims the copyright, perhaps it should be assigned to FSF. But that would require a copyright holder to act. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-28-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages unpaper depends on: ii libavcodec59 7:5.1.6-0+deb12u1 ii libavformat59 7:5.1.6-0+deb12u1 ii libavutil57 7:5.1.6-0+deb12u1 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u8 unpaper recommends no packages. unpaper suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
