Re: Bug#761364: ITP: abc -- A System for Sequential Synthesis and Verification



Hi Dirk and Andreas,

Thanks for showing interest and responding!

I did propose the name "berkeley-abc" quite quickly after first
posting the ITP (and retitled the bug). It is already on mentors with
that name (http://mentors.debian.net/package/berkeley-abc), and the
executable is also called berkeley-abc now.

I'm happy to maintain it as part of the Debian Science team, but I
will first then need to learn how this works.

Regards,
Ruben
