Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adaptor for the core++ package. The package once was a dependency
of the cgal package, but due to various reasons the cgal package now contains
a patched copy of (parts of) the core++ sources (yes, I know this bad). I
don't use core++ myself and lost interest in packaging it. Upstream
development seems to be very slow, if there still is some, at all.

There is a request to package the newest upstream version 2.0 (see #545997).
Actually, there was another upstream version 1.8, but no-one ever approached
me to package it. The currently packaged version 1.7 has a couple of patches
such that it compiles with recent gcc version and complies with Debian
policy.

I suggest that interested parties get in contact with me to learn more about
the package, its challenges, etc. before adopting the package.

I'll probably maintain the package on a low-effort basis until an adaptor
shows up, but I might consider orphaning it or requesting its removal for
squeeze+1.

Description:

The Core Library is a collection of C/C++ classes for exact computation with
real algebraic numbers. It embodies a precision-driven approach and is
useful for robust numerical (especially geometric) algorithms.
