Bug#1039051: RFA: gforth -- GNU Forth Language Environment



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gforth@packages.debian.org, roam@debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:gforth

I request an adopter for the gforth package. Turns out that in the past
couple of years I have not given it enough care and attention.

There is a Git repository containing all my Debian packaging work at
https://gitlab.com/gforth/pkg-debian-full

The package was in good shape at the time of its last update, but
things have moved on since then. Notably, I tried to bring in some
new upstream beta versions every now and then, but they failed their
build-time tests, and it would appear overly optimistic to keep
pretending that I will track those test failures down.

The package description is:
 This is the GNU'ish implementation of a Forth programming environment.
 .
 Forth, as a language, is best known for being stack-based, and completely
 extensible.  Each Forth environment provides one or more dictionaries of
 pre-defined words, and programming in Forth consists of defining and
 executing new words that are combinations of previously defined words.  It
 has been said that learning Forth changes forever the way you think about
 writing programs.
 .
 For more information about Forth, visit the Forth Interest Group web site
 at http://www.forth.org/fig.html.

Thanks in advance to whomever picks this package up!
