* Package name : libcdb-file-perl Version : 0.97 Upstream Author : Tim Goodwin <t...@star.le.ac.uk> et al. * URL : http://search.cpan.org/~toddr/CDB_File-0.97/ * License : GPL-1 / Artistic Programming Lang: Perl Description : Perl interface to Dan Berstein's cdb package. "cdb is a fast, reliable, lightweight package for creating and reading constant databases." libcdb-file-perl used to be in Debian until it was removed in a Q&A effort in 2005 (bug report at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=328806). As can be seen from the bug report, the removal had little to do with the functionality of libcdb-file-perl but a lot with its maintenance (upstream or in Debian). Users only noticed once the package had been removed, but nobody stepped up to provide it again. Upstream maintenance has changed and there seems to be a steady trickle of new versions. I think it's time to reintroduce this package into Debian under the umbrella of pkg-perl. (And I'm sure my boss would love that, too...) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
