glibc has an add-ons mechanism to allow additional software to be

libidn used to have separate release tarballs
but no longer does so, but still uses the add-ons mechanism within the
glibc source tree.


http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libidn.git;a=shortlog

Doesn't look dead to me; actually the libidn inside glibc looks way outdated
(before 2012 I think).


Joseph means glibc-libidn-2.3.4.tar.bz2 etc. available here:

  <https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/glibc/>

Their packaging is completely different from the libidn upstream releases.

Thanks,
Florian
