Good news, the new tesseract has now entered Debian testing. >I would probably prefer to see this happen in 12.10, in the hope that >the problems with sikuli and ocropus are resolved in the interim.
Sikuli is good to go. See version 1.0~x~rc3.tesseract3-dfsg1-1 in Debian Unstable. It is still waiting to enter Debian testing. Ocropus is broken in Debian, it can neither build nor run. This will not change until upstream completes a major rewrite. >Is the ocropus we have now working? If not it seems this should go ahead. If I am reading the bug reports correctly, the current Ubuntu ocropus is working, but is obsolete as per Debian and Ubuntu bug reports and upstream commentary. This really does look like a (new) Tesseract vs (old) Ocropus tradeoff. There are a stack of people peering over my shoulder muttering about why the former is more important, let me know if you would like to hear from them. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ocropus/+bug/500527 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933162 Title: FFe: Sync tesseract 3.02.01-1 (universe) from Debian sid (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tesseract/+bug/933162/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
