[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Repost: RFS: tk-html3/3.0~fossil20110109-1 [ITP ] -- Render HTML and CSS content with tk

[Ole Streicher]

Dear mentors,

I just want to repost this sponsorship request so that it does not get
forgotten :-)

<http://mentors.debian.net/package/tk-html3>

The highlights of this package are

- the HV3 browser is a light-weight web browser

- the tkhtml3 widget and hv3 mega-widget offering a complete (with CSS)
  html solution for Tcl/Tk,

In the internet, there are some pages dealing with "how to install HV3
on Debian"
<http://uzivatel.wordpress.com/2011/04/10/how-to-install-hv3-browser-in-debian-squeeze/>,
so there is definitely some user's interest in this browser.

HV3 is able to support ECMAScript/Javascript, but the according library
"SEE" <http://www.adaptive-enterprises.com.au/~d/software/see/>
is not packaged yet for Debian. Once this is done, we would have a
full-featured, completely independent Web engine suitable f.e. for
smaller computers, and for the seemless inclusion into Tcl/Tk.

My personal interest in getting tk-html3 into Debian is that I need this
widget for the astronomical "saods9" package.

A would appreciate for a review and/or upload of the package. Since I
still didn't get *any* response, I am especially unsure whether having
the download from a fossil VCS is done in the right, "Debianic" way.

Best regards

Ole
