Sorry, this was my fault! I thought that only Java packages were using
doc++ as a replacement for javadoc. The pkg-java team switched most of
the Java packages to gjdoc and when I requested the removal of
mozilla-ldapsdk (the last Java package that was using doc++) I thought
doc++ could also be removed.
Of course, I should have checked the build dependencies first (I only
checked package dependencies). Sorry again for the trouble that I've
caused and for my late reply. I've been away a couple of days since last
Friday.
If someone wants to take over doc++ you are more than welcome! You
should probably re-open the closed doc++ bugs and fix them if possible.
But upstream delevopment seems to have stopped (the last update was in
December 2002) so doxygen might be a better solution for the packages
that currently use doc++.
