Re: Parser for Debian's RFC822-based formats

[Jeremy Shaw <jeremy@n-heptane.com>]

The Debian library perhaps?

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/debian-3.61

The ByteString versions are quite fast.. can load the sid in a second or two.

The Debian library is used by the autobuilder:

http://src.seereason.com/autobuilder/

And which needs to read Release file, Source and Package files, resolves dependencies, create new debian/changelog entries, and more..

It is also used by the mirror library:

http://src.seereason.com/mirror/

Which can do partial mirroring of debian repositories. (Meaning, it has to walk the Packages and Sources files and find only the relevant files to mirror).

I need something with reasonable performance because I plan to process
the entire archive.
