Bug#837705: ITP: infinity -- Platform-independent system to export information to development tools



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@sergiodj.net>

* Package name    : infinity
  Version         : 0.0.3
  Upstream Author : Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>
* URL             : https://infinitynotes.org/wiki/Infinity
* License         : GPL-3+ and LGPL-2.1+
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description: Platform-independent system to export information to development tools

 Infinity is a platform-independent system for executables and shared
 libraries to export information to software development tools such as
 debuggers.
 .
 In Infinity, executable and shared library files contain Infinity
 notes in addition to their regular contents. Each Infinity note
 contains a function encoded in a platform-independent instruction set
 that note-consuming tools can load and execute.
 .
 This package provides I8C, a compiler for creating object files
 containing Infinity notes. This package also provides I8X, an execution
 environment that can be used to create unit tests for compiled notes.



This is going to be used as libthread_db replacement on GDB/GLIBC soon.

I thought about using a different name for the package, maybe
infinity-i8, but I'll stick with infinity for now.

It is still in alpha state so I plan to release it only on experimental
for now.

I'll also package libi8x, the client-side library.  ITP will come soon.
