* Package name    : thrift
  Version         : 0.9.2
  Upstream Author : The Apache Software Foundation

  Description     : software framework, for scalable cross-language services development

The Apache Thrift software framework, for scalable cross-language
services development, combines a software stack with a code generation
engine to build services that work efficiently and seamlessly between
C++, Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, Erlang, Perl, Haskell, C#, Cocoa,
JavaScript, Node.js, Smalltalk, OCaml and Delphi and other languages.

Thrift is already in the archive, but in a sliced, separate packages
version. I'm in the process to use the vanilla upstream source and build
everything from it. This is just a tracking / heads-up ITP.
