Bug#344462: RFA: libconfig-general-perl -- generic configuration module



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


IMVHO this package is in a pretty good shape, and I don't see any
particular tasks that really need to be done. However, for some reason
I'm not that fond of it and / or don't use it regularily anymore, so
as part of some restructuring on my side I'm willing to let this
package go and find a loving new maintainer for it.
NB: This package is quite easy to maintain and thus might be just the
right choice for any aspiring new maintainer trying to get his hands
wet.

If you have a sponsor (or don't need one) please just take over.
Otherwise I might be interested in sponsoring a new maintainer,
provided the changes a) show _no_ regressions and b) provide
substantial improvements (no, just putting your name on it and
changing to your packaging style of choice is _not_ substantial in my
eyes). Either way please follow the standard procedure as outlined on
<http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/> for taking over.
Until a new maintainer has been found I will continue to take care
just as before, of course...

Description: generic configuration module
 This module opens a configuration file and parses its contents for
 you. After parsing it returns a hash which contains all options and
 their associated values from your configuration file.
 .
 The format of configuration files supported by Config::General is
 inspired by the well known Apache configuration format, in fact, this
 module is fully capable of parsing Apache configurations, but the
 output is not usable by Apache. You can also just use simple name/value
 pairs in your configuration files.
 .
 In addition to the capabilities of an apache configuration file it
 supports some enhancements such as here-documents, C-style comments and
 multi-line options.
