Bug#616131: RFA: lsb -- Linux Standard Base 3.2 support package
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the lsb package. My primary interests in
free software have become more tied to my work (essentially,
statistical computing - so basically R and related stuff) and LSB just
isn't my focus any more. Moving to 4.0+ compliance shouldn't be a
huge challenge but someone more motivated may be able to accomplish it
sooner.
The package description is:
The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
This package provides an implementation of all modules of version 3.2
of the Linux Standard Base for Debian on the Intel x86, Intel ia64
(Itanium), IBM S390, and PowerPC 32-bit architectures with the Linux
kernel. Future revisions of the specification and this package may
support the LSB on additional architectures and kernels.
.
The intent of this package is to provide a best current practice way
of installing and running LSB packages on Debian GNU/Linux. Its
presence does not imply that Debian fully complies
with the Linux Standard Base, and should not be construed as a
statement that Debian is LSB-compliant.
