Control: retitle -1 O: bnfc -- Compiler front-end generator based on Labelled BNF Control: affects -1 bnfc
With the upstream release of version 2.5.0, bnfc now ships a library in addition to the binary. This increases the packaging complexity enough that I am not comfortable continuing as maintainer. If someone wants to take over, the package should probably be maintained within the Debian Haskell Group.
