Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist
I'd like to see Phong Vo's sfio library packaged for easy use by Debian programmers. This software is extraordinarily flexible and performant, and I believe Debian developers will benefit materially by having it easily available. (The upstream install process is baroque.) I've listed the information page as the URL; the download page is http://www2.research.att.com/sw/download/. What I'm really keen to have is the sfio library, but I have no problem if someone wants to package the entire ast-ast library, which is the way it is bundled upstream. All of that stuff is pretty useful. * Package name : sfio-dev Version : 2010-03-01 Upstream Author : Phong Vo <k...@research.att.com> * URL : http://www2.research.att.com/~gsf/download/ref/sfio/sfio.html * License : AT&T Common Public License, http://www2.research.att.com/~gsf/license/cpl-1.0.html Programming Lang: C Description : Phong Vo's Safe Fast I/O Library (AT&T Advanced Software Technology) Sfio is a library for managing I/O streams. It provides functionality similar to that of Stdio, the ANSI C Standard I/O library, but via a distinct interface that is more powerful, robust and efficient. Features include thread safety, adaptive buffering, and efficient algorithms for reading and writing numbers. Available features to enhance performance include direct access to stream buffers to avoid copying, and operations that read and scan lines or records of any length, avoiding buffer overflow automatically. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
