[Andreas Noteng]

Thanks for the help. Yeah someone made a fork to pull in the awaiting
merges, I'll check it out and see how it works and consider switching
upstreams.

Wasn't scantailor-advanced already a fork of scantailor?

I can see that the last commit was a year ago, and they haven't even
merged the fix for Qt 5.15.

Did someone fork it into another new project?

As for sponsoring the package, I cannot help with that either, sadly.
But with my patch, it passes all Salsa CI checks, so it may be a bit
easier to get it into Debian now.

Hi, i was having trouble finding a sponsor as the sponsor i had was having
health issues (I'm only dm, not dd). This software seems to have died
upstream, but a fork is in progress so switching upstream sources might be
in order. I'll have a look at it next week.

Any progress?

This MR addresses the build errors and should make the package fit for
inclusion on Debian:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/scantailor-advanced/-/merge_requests/12

Looks like progress is being made:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/scantailor-advanced

I was able to build + run the resulting package after adding the
attached quilt patch. It avoids errors due to a missing QPainterPath
include:

src/core/filters/output/OutputGenerator.cpp: In member function
‘imageproc::BinaryThreshold
output::OutputGenerator::Processor::calcBinarizationThreshold(const
QImage&, const QPolygonF&, const imageproc::BinaryImage*) const’:
src/core/filters/output/OutputGenerator.cpp:2111:16: error: aggregate
‘QPainterPath path’ has incomplete type and cannot be defined
 2111 |   QPainterPath path;
  |^~~~

Upstream has seen the compile errors as well and already fixed most of
them:

Owner: Andreas Noteng 

* Package name: scantailor-advanced
  Version : 1.0.17~2019.08.16-1

  Description : Interactive post-processing tool for scanned pages

Scan Tailor is an interactive post-processing tool for scanned pages. It
performs operations such as page splitting, deskewing, adding/removing
borders, and others. You give it raw scans, and you get pages ready to be
printed or assembled into a PDF or DJVU file. Scanning, optical character
recognition, and assembling multi-page documents are out of scope of this
project.

The current scantailor package in Debain is removed from stable and
testing due to it blocking QT4-removal (#875176). The project is not
dead upstream, but development is going slow. Scantailor Advanced is a
fork that uses QT5, and also includes some extended features.
