Bug#869135: Please consider switching to giza

[Ole Streicher]

Source: libpgplot-perl
Version: 1:2.21-6
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

since about a year, there is a replacement library for pgplot available
in Debian: giza [1]. This is almost compatible, but has a DFSG conform
license (GPL-2+), which would allow to migrate libpgplot-perl to the
main section. I already use it successfully in a number of packages in
the astronomy context, f.e. in dpuser which allows an interactive
transparent access to pgplot functions from a command line.

Would you consider testing the adoption of giza for libpgplot-perl?

Best regards

Ole (maintainer of the Debian giza package)
