Bug#413985: ITP: elfio -- library for reading and generating ELF files



Package: wnpp

Owner: "Paul "TBBle" Hampson" <Paul.Hampson@Pobox.Com>

* Package name    : elfio
  Version         : 1.0.3

  Description     : library for reading and generating ELF files

elfio is a library for reading and generating ELF files

Thoughts on the long description appreciated... Upstream has something
like:
 elfio is a library for manipulating ELF files, which is
 written in ANSI C++ and usable on a wide variety of
 architectures


==
I have preliminary packages done, and once I've had another once-over on
them, I'll be seeking a sponsor on debian-mentors unless I am approached
beforehand. (hint hint ^_^)

At this point, it's static-link only, as upstream doesn't produce a
sofile and I don't want to muck up any future soversioned release. I'm
flexible on this, given a sufficiently good suggestion.

Also, the package is libelfio-dev, but the actual library file is
/usr/lib/libELFIO.a as that is what upstream Makefiles produce. I
did not see any particular rules against this. A quick poke around
suggests Fedora doesn't have this packaged, Cygwin uses the upper-cased
version, arch linux uses the uppercase version, and Gentoo has an
ebuild but I haven't checked inside it to see what it does.

I'm packaging this as a dependancy of secondlife-client.
