Description Adrien Lemaire 2011-09-26 09:39:08 UTC

When I run "xindy -V", I get:

xindy release: 2.4
xindy script version: 1.16
/usr/lib/clisp-2.48/base/lisp.run: initialization file `/usr/lib/xindy/xindy.mem' was not created by this version of CLISP runtime


Bug fixed in django bug tracker : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580762

Needs to upgrade the xindy ebuild from 2.4 to 2.4-1 to resolve the bug.

Where can we find the most recent upstream source code?
I could only see xindy-2.3 on SF.
Upstream seems dead since 2009.

The latest development is now on the TeXlive SVN. 
The author jschrod backports it from time to time to his github repo.

There is exactly 1 release (2.5.0) from 2014 on https://github.com/jschrod/xindy.ctan/releases

There is also a 2.5.1 release. I do not understand where development takes place.

CTAN lists 2.5.1 too and is newer than the upstream homepage it links.
https://ctan.org/pkg/xindy?lang=en

Should we treeclean it, because it is included in texlive?

Out of confusion, I have merged xindy into texlive-2020 as it is being provided by the collection-binextra in anyway and is placed on the texlive net on CTAN. The separate package will be removed alongside with the texlive-2019.
