There is already a request in openFATE (https://features.opensuse.org/308435), but only 5 of us have voted for it. If we get more support, we increase the chances of it being included in 11.3.
Actually you probably increase the chances more by offering to maintain it for openSUSE. Including the lifetime support with providing security and bugfixes after release.
I cannot find easily why Toms dropped it though, the history is really lacking.
I'm merely a writer, not a developer. Usually pdftk compiled and I was happy. However, some time ago, it stopped to compile. I investigated it further, wrote also to our internal research mailinglist, but neither I nor others could fix it. Unfortunately, I had to drop it as I had neither enough time nor enough Java background to fix it.
Maybe the situation has changed now, I don't know.
To translate ... "If someone else wants to maintain pdftk, please pick it up and reestablish it." :) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
