Bug#215555: RFA: rlwrap -- A Readline Wrapper
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-10-13
Severity: normal
I plan to retire from Debian at the end of this year, and
therefore I'm offering my packages for adoption.
The rlwrap package provides a small utility that uses the GNU
readline library to allow the editing of keyboard input for any
other command. Input history is remembered across invocations,
separately for each command; history completion and search work
as in bash and completion word lists can be specified on the
command line. The rlwrap utility is especially useful for
applications that do not come with their own readline support.
Maintaining rlwrap is a very easy job that would fit even
novide maintainers. The package uses debhelper, and the diff
does not include anything but the Debian control files. The
source itself uses a standard GNU autotools build mechanism.
The only bug that was ever filed against rlwrap was fixed with
the last upstream release. The new version of the package has
already been built successfully on all platforms.
Best,
Marco
PS. Sorry if this bug is filed twice; my first mail seems to be
lost in Net Nirvana ...
