I have no interest in VXL anymore:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731858
As explained in the bug report:
...
Currently VXL in debian uses an enormous patch to get SONAME working.
Upstream has never been willing to integrate that back into main code,
even after multiple requests. So minimal skills in C++ is needed to
maintain this package.
...
So whoever wants to work on VXL needs some C++ and CMake skills.
Cheers.
