Bug#160784: ITP: Digest::Nilsimsa -- Nilsimsa message digest algorithm

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

I intent to package libdigest-nilsimsa-perl (CPAN module Digest::Nilsimsa).
This is the extended description:

 A nilsimsa signature is a statistic of n-gram occurance in a piece of text.
 It is a 256 bit value usually represented in hex. This module is a wrapper
 around nilsimsa implementation in C by cmeclax.
 .
 See http://ixazon.dynip.com/~cmeclax/nilsimsa.html for more information.

The perl module was written by Chad Norwood. Everything is GPLed.

[ I packaged this to be able to see razor v2 working in my system
using only Debian packages, but of course once the package exists, the
logical thing to do is to share it ].

A preliminary package for woody may be found here:
