Bug#886679: RFA: coccinelle -- semantic patching tool for C



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the coccinelle package.

I'm not using this package much anymore and having more active
maintainer would be good. The most immediate task would be packaging
latest version for unstable. It is currently available in experimental,
but has no Python support because of dependency on pyml that is not
packaged for Debian. Also, it fails to build on some architectures.

The package is actively maintained upstream.

The package is nominally maintained by Debian OCaml Maintainers, but a
real maintainer would be good.

The package description is:
 Coccinelle is a program matching and transformation tool for C.
 The programmer describes the code to match and the transformation to
 perform as a semantic patch, which looks like a standard patch, but can
 transform multiple files at any number of code sites.
