  Description     : library for reading and generating ELF files

elfio is a library for reading and generating ELF files

Thoughts on the long description appreciated... Upstream has something
like:
 elfio is a library for manipulating ELF files, which is
 written in ANSI C++ and usable on a wide variety of
 architectures


==
I have preliminary packages done, and once I've had another once-over on
them, I'll be seeking a sponsor on debian-mentors unless I am approached
beforehand. (hint hint ^_^)

At this point, it's static-link only, as upstream doesn't produce a
sofile and I don't want to muck up any future soversioned release. I'm
flexible on this, given a sufficiently good suggestion.

Also, the package is libelfio-dev, but the actual library file is
/usr/lib/libELFIO.a as that is what upstream Makefiles produce. I
did not see any particular rules against this. A quick poke around
suggests Fedora doesn't have this packaged, Cygwin uses the upper-cased
version, arch linux uses the uppercase version, and Gentoo has an
ebuild but I haven't checked inside it to see what it does.

I'm packaging this as a dependancy of secondlife-client.

I no longer require this package for slviewer, so I'm closing this ITP.
(Thanks Marc for the suggestion to look into this, it turned out to be
_really_ easy.)

If someone comes along and wants this packaged, I'll leave my last
packged version online at [1]. It works fine, apart from the preceeding
comment regarding splitting the binary object out into a seperate
package.

In _that_ regard, a seperate package is basically pointless, the binary
is a sample program which could be replaced with readelf and objdump.

So I'd suggest instead just dropping the binary from the package, and
leaving just the libELFIO.a file, with maybe the source for ELFDump in
/usr/share/doc.

Thanks to all reviewers and bug commentors. ^_^
