Bug#477925: RFA: scons -- A replacement for Make
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I'm looking for someone to take over the SCons package since I no longer
use it at work and therefore don't need to take the detailed interest in
advanced usage required for that. The package is in reasonably good
shape and upstream is generally responsive and helpful, and appreciates
the testing coverage which inclusion in Debian gives them.
Any prospective adopter should be confident enough with Python to be
willing to delve into the code which upstreams for other packages have
written to wrap and extend the functionality of SCons - breakage in
those is the major source of problems reported in the package (rather
than issues with direct use of SCons).
The package description is:
SCons is a make replacement providing a range of enhanced features such
as automated dependency generation and built in compilation cache
support. SCons rule sets are Python scripts so as well as the features
it provides itself SCons allows you to use the full power of Python
to control compilation.
