Bug#1002724: ITP: openfec -- Forward Error Correction codes
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Nick Black (Public gmail account)" <dankamongmen@gmail.com>
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, dankamongmen@gmail.com
Package name : openfec
Version : 1.4.2.4
Upstream Author : Victor Gaydov <victor@enise.org> et al

License : CeCILL-C
Programming Lang: C
Description : Forward Error Correction codes
Application-Level Forward Error Correction codes add
redundancy in order to be able to recover from erasures.
this library is required by the Roc Project, whose PipeWire
modules are currently disabled. With the addition of this
dependency, we will be able to build roc-toolkit, and thus
enable the PipeWire Roc sink and source. indeed, this active
fork of the original OpenFEC is maintained by Roc.
It uses a CeCILL-C license; see [0] for discussion on debian-legal.
In addition, small parts come under Radford Neal's LDPC simulator
license and Luigi Rizzo's Reed-Solomon license ([1]); I have
reviewed both, and they seem trivially compatible with the DFSG.
As a lowly DM, I'll be uploading this through a Sponsor, Dylan Aïssi
from the Utopia team.
