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

[Iain Lane]

I would probably prefer to see this happen in 12.10, in the hope that
the problems with sikuli and ocropus are resolved in the interim.

But I won't block you from proceeding in 12.04 if you want to, so the
FFe is approved by me.

I'm leaving as New and subscribing the sponsors for you. Comment #9
shows how to proceed. I'd appreciate a courtesy check that an archive
administrator doesn't mind performing the work that this will cause, and
please make sure to watch all changed packages for bug reports.

Please have this done by Beta 2 freeze, March 22.

Title:
  FFe: Sync tesseract 3.02.01-1 (universe) from Debian sid (main)

Status in “tesseract” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
