Bug#883702: RFS: lina/5.3.0-1 ( #859130 ITP: lina -- iso-compliant Forth interpreter and compiler )
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "lina"
* Package name : lina
Version : 5.3.0-1
Upstream Author : Albert van der Horst <albert@spenarnc.xs4all.nl>
* URL : https://github.com/albertvanderhorst/ciforth
* License : LGPL2
Section : devel
It builds those binary packages:
lina - close to ISO Forth interpreter and compiler
To access further information about this package, please visit
the following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/lina
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this
command:
dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lina/lina_5.3.0-1.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
* Initial release (Closes: #859130)
* Added a Makefile
* Administrative defects detected by lintian
The relevance of this Forth in regard of the availability of other
Forth's in Debian :
* the connection with Forth's on microcontrollers, in partical
http://home.hccnet.nl/willem.ouwerkerk/pr-bytef.htm (8051 AVR)
http://home.hccnet.nl/anij/nof/noforth.html (MSP430)
Tools in behalf of these (ide's, metacompiler, calibration
programs) can then be built using a trusted compiler.
* building real time control, portable accross Linux and
MS-Windows's
e.g. (requires a true parallel port:)
http://home.hccnet.nl/a.w.m.van.der.horst/manx.html
* ease of making elf executables and simplicity in general e.g.
https://github.com/albertvanderhorst/primecounting/tree/master/sieve
http://home.hccnet.nl/a.w.m.van.der.horst/ciasdis_1.0_all.deb
Sponsoring efforts should be low, in view of one assembler source
and basically a one line build.
Regards,
Albert van der Horst
