Bug#1069602: RFP: rapidgzip -- Parallelized decompression of gzip (Python)

[Maximilian Knespel <maximilian.knespel@tu-dresden.de>]

Hello,

I am the developer of rapidgzip. I found this RFP by accident and am glad that there is demand. I have zero experience with packaging for Debian, but I would be happy to help if a Debian developer decides to package this.

Some small adjustments to the metadata:

* Package name    : rapidgzip
  Version         : 0.13.3 (from Git tags)
  Upstream Author : Maximilian Knespel <maximilian.knespel@tu-dresden.de>
* URL             : https://github.com/mxmlnkn/rapidgzip
* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : Parallelized decompression of gzip

In particular, I have filled in my university mail, which I also used for the corresponding paper, and I have changed the language to C++.
The Python-version is only a very thin wrapper around the C++ code. A Debian package should build from the C++ source directly.
I am basically only using Python for distributing the C++ CLI and also for distributing the rapidgzip library for random access and parallel decompression.
