Intents to package



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

As soon as I'm registered as a Debian Developer, I'd like to take over/start the
following packages:

Orphaned:  xabacus
Withdrawn: apsfilter, cfgtools.

I used these/play with this in my previous distributions of Linux and am
getting ready to install them on my debian machine.

New: chpp

Edited from the introduction in the manual:

chpp is a preprocessor. Therefore, its main purpose is to modify input text by
including other input files and by macro expansion.

What distinguishes chpp from at least the two programs mentioned above [m4
and cpp] are mainly two features:

     * chpp is non-intrusive. This means that you can take your favourite text
and it is very unlikely that it will be changed when piped through chpp.
       Due to this feature it is pretty easy to start using chpp since you can
just start writing your text and need not concern yourself with chpp   
       sitting in the background changing it for no obvious reason.
     * chpp is not just a package for performing simple macro expansion, but
can indeed be considered a full-fledged programming language. Most
       importantly, it provides support for complex data structures, namely
lists and hashes (associative arrays), which can be nested arbitrarily.

I use this package today to help me maintain my web pages.
