According to our email archive:
-> Karl noticed that the version on CTAN had become outdated
compared to new developments on github.
-> The junicode author (Peter S Baker) said:
“I should have been keeping up Junicode on CTAN, but the fact is,
I hate packaging and prefer to leave it to others.”
So it was decided, by common agreement, that the font should
disappear from CTAN and thus from TL.
Suggestion: If anyone would be willing to „adopt“ the package
as a _CTAN_ maintainer, then the font could indeed come back ...
(@ anyone willing to take over this task: Please get in touch
with Peter first, and with CTAN only when you have got his
agreement. Thanks!)
Best regards
Petra (from the CTAN team)
