Bug#532166: RFP: haskell-bytestring-mmap -- mmap support for strict ByteStrings



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

This package is a build dependency for the next version of Darcs (by
way of haskell-hashed-storage, see #532154).
Thus, this needs to be in Debian before Darcs 2.3 can enter Debian.
If nobody else wants to take this one, I will.

* Package name    : haskell-bytestring-mmap
  Version         : 0.2.0
  Upstream Author : Don Stewart <dons@galois.com>
* URL             : http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/bytestring-mmap
* License         : BSD3
  Programming Lang: Haskell
  Description     : mmap support for strict ByteStrings

This library provides a wrapper to mmap(2), allowing files or devices
to be lazily loaded into memory as strict or lazy ByteStrings, using
the virtual memory subsystem to do on-demand loading.
