Bug#995268: RFA: popt -- lib for parsing cmdline parameters - development files



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 src:popt

I request an adopter for the popt package, I don't have time to properly
maintain it. The package is in pretty good shape but there is some
patches and bugs to triage and address.

The package description is:
 Popt was heavily influenced by the getopt() and getopt_long() functions,
 but it allows more powerful argument expansion. It can parse arbitrary
 argv[] style arrays and automatically set variables based on command
 line arguments. It also allows command line arguments to be aliased via
 configuration files and includes utility functions for parsing arbitrary
 strings into argv[] arrays using shell-like rules.
 .
 This package contains the popt static library and header file.
