*** Bug 193106 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I think one of the big issues with creating an ebuild for bib2xhtml is that it requires dev-perl/PDF-API2, a masked package... At least thats what I came across when I was trying to write the ebuild.
Upstream is sort of alive, there hasn't been a new release for quite a while but the last burst of activity on GitHub took place only two months ago. The question is, is there still user demand for this package? We have already got dev-tex/bibtex2html in Portage, mind you - except that one is quite old too (and written in ocaml). * * * While this is still a viable package for the Gentoo Portage tree it appears this ebuild is lacking in community interest. If you (or another user) are still wanting this to make it into the Portage tree please let us know! It would be additionally helpful (but not required) if you were willing to help out with the package by becoming it's proxied maintainer; you have already done most of the work for this task. Gentoo even has a dedicated team[1] for assisting users in becoming proxied maintainers. If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact proxy-maint@gentoo.org or join #gentoo-proxy-maint on Freenode IRC. If this bug remains silent without further comments for 30 days i will close it with the resolution of WONTFIX. Beyond that the bug can always be reopened to get this package back on track for the Gentoo Portage tree.
