Title:
[MIR] luit
Status in luit package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Availability]
- The package luit is already in Ubuntu universe.
- The package luit build for the architectures it is designed to work on
- It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el
riscv64 s390x
- Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/luit
[Rationale]
- The package luit is required in Ubuntu main for support to
transcoding some encodings to the terminal's. E.g.
https://xtermjs.org/docs/guides/encoding/.
- The package luit will not generally be useful for a large part of
our user base, but is important/helpful still for legacy setups
that already rely on luit.
- The package luit is a recommends of x11-utils (main) we already support
and also xterm (universe).
Note: luit was in x11-utils (main) but was broken off to its own package
after 7.7+6 as per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-utils/7.7+6.
That is 22.04 LTS was had it in main
(https://launchpadlibrarian.net/592958282/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.x11-utils_7.7+5build2_BUILDING.txt.gz),
so it is OK to take the standalone luit package to main too.
- There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
should go universe->main instead of this.
Note: There is iconv but it has at least one limitation, namely it cannot
deal with continuous input, rather it needs the whole text, see for instance
https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/35662.
- The binary package luit needs to be in main to continue the support of
set ups with legacy encodings.
- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
package luit in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.

#Old stub, to be deleted after confirmation that the above is enough#
This is broken out of x11-utils and thereby should be ok to go to
main, but it actually isn't
part of the same in Jammy:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/592958282/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-
amd64.x11-utils_7.7+5build2_BUILDING.txt.gz
recommends in Noble and later:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/746621535/buildlog_ubuntu-oracular-amd64.x11-utils_7.7+7_BUILDING.txt.gz
The changelog says
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-utils/7.7+6
* Removed luit, which is now packaged separately with a different
upstream (closes: #1006193, #1003021, #1003130, #816289). Added
recommends for that package.
Same problem in Noble, but there luit didn't exist and hence was ignored.
