Dear Maintainer,

I'm the author of Asciio, which debian package was removed 2 years ago.
It did use the deprecated GTK2 so it was a good thing.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/asciio

Asciio is back, It's been ported to a GTK3 and a prototype terminal
interface has been added.

The module is still on CPAN but it now has a repo at
https://github.com/nkh/P5-App-Asciio.


I just released version 1.9.02 which I tested in a container with
debian and ubuntu, which uses debian packages if I am not wrong. Apart
from the list of modules App:Ascii needs, make and gcc are also
required for modules that contain XS code.

The installation procedure is at
https://github.com/nkh/P5-App-Asciio#install. I've tried to use as
many debian packages as possible. Data::Tree::Dumper::GTK exists in the
debian package repo but it's a GTK2 version so a new version is needed
till it's also updated in the debian repo.


Could you please re-introduce the package?

Cheers, Nadim.

Please note that you set an ITP prefix for wnpp bugs if you intend to
work on the package yourself. Otherwise it is a RFP.
