Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : alice
  Version         : 1.3.0
  Upstream Author : Programming Systems Lab, Saarland University
* URL             : http://ps.uni-sb.de/alice/
* License         : GPL, BSD-like
  Programming Lang: C++, SML, Alice
  Description     : Alice programming language

 A functional programming language based on Standard ML, extended with
 support for concurrent, distributed, and constraint programming. The
 Alice ML language extends Standard ML with several new features:
 .
  - Futures: laziness and light-weight concurrency with data-flow
    synchronisation
  - Higher-order modules: higher-order functors and abstract
    signatures
  - Packages: integrating static with dynamic typing and
    first class modules 
  - Pickling: higher-order type-safe, generic & platform-independent
    persistence 
  - Components: platform-independence and type-safe dynamic loading of
    modules
  - Distribution: type-safe cross-platform remote functions and network
    mobility 
  - Constraints: solving combinatorical problems using constraint
    propagation and programmable search

I've been wanting to package this one for a long time already, and
started looking into it this weekend.

There's still a few issues that I'll have to resolve.  The release
tarballs at http://ps.uni-sb.de/alice/download/sources/ have the alice
runtime system in compiled bytecode format only.  Not having the
source would fail DFSG, but fortunately it's available in the CVS.
For security fixes' sake I'll retool the build system to compile the
bytecode on debian/rules build and not just include the sources along
with upstream's binary blobs.

Also, Alice doesn't seem to be quite FHS compliant.

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

 reopen 396049
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
396049@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
