Bug#666715: ITP: dedupdedup -- find duplicate programs for finding duplicate files



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Lars Wirzenius <liw@liw.fi>

* Package name    : dedupdedup
  Version         : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Lars Wirzenius
* URL             : http://liw.fi/dedupdedup/
* License         : AGPLv3+
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : find duplicate programs for finding duplicate files

dedupdedup is a program to find duplicate programs for finding duplicate
files on the filesystem. It looks through the Debian package archive
and the open ITP bugs to find programs that find duplicate files. It
can then optionally close the ITP bugs, and file bugs against
ftp-master.debian.org to get such programs to be removed from the
archive.

Not all duplicate file finder programs are exact copies of each other,
so dedupdedup embeds a simple AI system to compare programs, based on
package descriptions, --help output, and manual pages, to verify that
only the most complete of such programs remains.
