[Bug 933162] [NEW] FFe: Sync tesseract 3.02.01-1 (universe) from Debian sid (main)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Please sync tesseract 3.02.01-1 (universe) from Debian sid (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:

This is a major upstream release that incorporated a lot of
improvements and fixes. It runs patch free on Debian.

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:

Tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) program designed
to turn images into symbolic text. It is developed with support from
Google as part of a book digitization effort, and can have major
impact wherever digitizing paper documents are important. Debian's
version of Tesseract contains improvements to accuracy, and expands
out-of-the-box language support from 6 European languages to 65
languages from all over the world. I am the Debian package
co-maintainer, and have a close relationship with upstream.

There are a number of complications with this synchronization request,
possibly beyond what Ubuntu would normally consider.

  Tesseract 3.0x has only been in Debian for a couple of weeks. It is
  still in Debian Unstable due to package name changes. For example
  tesseract-ocr-dev became libtesseract-dev

  Each language is packaged separately, so we are talking 65+
  packages. See the Debian maintainer page for all tesseract-*
  packages. We would like all except for tesseract-ocr-lat-lid to
  enter Ubuntu 12.04.

  Several packages execute the tesseract binary. They should work fine.
  $ whodepends tesseract-ocr
  gscan2pdf
  ocrfeeder
  ocrodjvu
  slimrat
  slimrat-nox

  Two package build-depend on Tesseract
  $ build-rdeps tesseract-ocr-dev
  ocropus
  sikuli

  Ocropus FTBFS due to package name changes and API changes in
  Tesseract. Ocropus upstream requests that the obsolete Ocropus
  package be withdrawn entirely.

  Sikuli has been updated to work with Tesseract 3.02. This is in
  Debian Unstable, it has not yet migrated to Debian testing.
