Bug#570018: RFP: biblatex-biber -- A BibTeX replacement for users of biblatex, with full Unicode support, written in Perl

2010-10-15 Thread Markus Meier
Hi,

nice to hear that somebody is creating a Biber Debian package.
I am looking forward to testing your package as soon as you have it in
a working state.

Thank you very much.

Cheers
Markus

 Hi Markus

 I've just seen your RFP for Biber, and am interested in creating a
 Debian package for it.
 There are some Perl dependencies that don't exist yet in Debian, so I
 will have to create a few Perl library packages as well.

 I hope to get a working package (amd64) ready within a week or two.

 Cheers

Bug#514751: This package is already in Debian repository

2010-02-15 Thread Markus Meier
close 514751
thanks

Hi,

pgfplots is contained in texlive-pictures, which itself belongs to
TeXLive 2009. This package has entered squeeze some time ago thus
closing this bug.

Greetings

Markus

Bug#570018: RFP: biblatex-biber -- A BibTeX replacement for users of biblatex, with full Unicode support, written in Perl.

2010-02-15 Thread Markus Meier
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: biblatex-biber
  Version : 0.4.3
  Upstream Author : Francois Charette albuma...@users.sourceforge.net
* URL : http://www.biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPL and Artistic License
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : A BibTeX replacement for users of biblatex, with
  full Unicode support, written in Perl. 

With Biber it is no longer necessary to rely on BibTeX. The objective of
the first development phase is to have a robust and reliable emulation
of the BibTeX processor with the biblatex.bst style file. In other
words, given the same .aux file as input, biber should output a
functionally identical .bbl file as BibTeX.

Biber also introduces support for a new XML format tailored specifically
for biblatex data, unimaginatively called BibLaTeXML. It owes its
inspiration partly to the BibTeXML format, but it is far more complex.
RelaXNG and W3C schemata are provided, as well as a tool for converting
.bib files to biblatexml.

The advantages of no longer being dependent upon BibTeX are obvious:
full Unicode support, no memory limitations, extensibility, etc.


Cheers
Markus
