Bug#555663: RFA: eclipse-cdt

[Thomas Girard <thomas.g.girard@free.fr>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'd like to request an adopter for eclipse-cdt, since I don't have enough
time to dedicate this package.

Current package status:
 - it needs to be updated to the lastest eclipse release available in Debian
   (#441313 and possibly root cause for RC bug #542977)
 - it needs to be ported to sparc (#478900) . Work for this was started in the
   SVN repo, but it was not completed.

I think relying on the cross-distro eclipse packaging effort(1) is a good
idea.

Here's the package description:
  The eclipse-cdt package contains Eclipse features and plugins that are useful for C and C++ development.

  The current release function includes:
  * C/C++ Editor (basic functionality, syntax highlighting, code completion, etc.)
  * C/C++ Debugger (APIs & Default implementation, using GDB)
  * C/C++ Launcher (APIs & Default implementation, launches and external application)
  * Parser
  * Search Engine
  * Content Assist Provider
  * Makefile generator

Regards,

Thomas
