  Description     : PHPWord - PHP library for reading and writing Word documents

PHPWord is a library written in pure PHP that provides a set of classes
to write to and read from different document file formats, such as
DOCX, ODT, and RTF.

This package is being introduced into Debian specifically as a
dependency for the FOSSology project, not as part of the general PHP team.

I intend to package phpoffice-phpword for Debian as a dependency for FOSSology.

Hello,
This is a follow-up regarding the ITP for phpoffice-phpword.
Update:
After reviewing the requirements of the FOSSology project, I have
repackaged phpoffice-phpword to use version 0.18.3 (instead of the
previously mentioned 1.1.0). This change ensures compatibility with
FOSSology, which specifically requires version 0.18.3 in its dependency
list.
Summary of changes:
Downloaded and packaged the correct upstream version: 0.18.3
Updated all Debian packaging files to reflect this version
Verified that this version matches the requirements of FOSSology and avoids
any potential incompatibilities that could arise from using a newer version
If there are any questions or further steps needed, please let me know.
Thank you for your attention and support!
Best regards,
Ahmed Gamal

Hello,
This is a follow-up regarding the ITP for phpoffice-phpword.
I have updated the packaging to use the version 0.18.3, which is the
version required by the FOSSology project. The package now matches the
exact dependency as specified in FOSSology's composer.json.
Summary of changes:
Downloaded and packaged the correct upstream version: 0.18.3
Ensured all packaging files (control, rules, changelog, copyright, watch,
install, etc.) are present and correct
The package is intended as a dependency for FOSSology, not as a general PHP
team package
If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let me know.
I am looking for a sponsor to help upload this package to Debian.
Thanks,
Ahmed Gamal
