Bug#824838: ITP: hyperscan -- High-performance regular expression matching library

[Hilko Bengen <bengen@debian.org>]

Hi,

I helped Robert a bit with his packaging effort and consider the package
ready for an initial upload, except for two issues.

SZ Lin, how far are you along with your work? Would you like to
collaborate on the package?

The issues I would still like to see solved are:

1. The structure of debian/copyright does not yet reflect the copyright
situations of the different bits that are part of the source
distributions.

2. One thing that hasn't been looked at so far is the issue that the
library relies on specific CPU instruction set extensions, so there
should probably some sort of check that runs at install time and throws
a Debconf-based warning if the needed extensions are not enabled on the
host CPU.

Cheers,
-Hilko
