[needs-packaging] papyrus

[Rick Vinyard]

Papyrus uses cairomm, and thus cairo, to perform rendering of a 2-D scenegraph into a cairo context. Thus, papyrus scenegraphs can be rendered on-screen (such as X11 windows) as well as PDF documents, PNG images, SVG documents and any other surface cairo supports ( Microsoft Windows surfaces, Quartz surfaces, postscript, OpenGL to name a few more).

Notes: I am the author of the papyrus library as well as the maintainer of the Fedora packages. I'd like to make papyrus available in Ubuntu as well since I am using it in the Logitech G13 daemon, and it would be nice to have papyrus available for those wanting to test the development of the G13 on Ubuntu.

I also have a preliminary version of the papyrus deb files, but I'd really appreciate someone more familiar with deb packaging to maintain them.
