* Package name : libdsiutils-java Version : 2.6.6 Upstream Author : Sebastiano Vigna * URL : http://dsiutils.di.unimi.it * License : LGPL-3 Programming Lang: Java Description : Java library of statistical and text data handling tools The library contains: - Implementations of pseudorandom number generators; - BitVector and its implementations -- a high-performance but flexible set of bit vector classes; - A it.unimi.dsi.compression package containing codecs for several types of encodings; - ProgressLogger, a flexible logger with statistics marking the progress of the classes that are used and that require hours of computation; - ObjectParser, a class making it easy to specify complex objects on the command line; - MutableString, an alternative to the immutable Java String class; - The I/O package, containing fast version of several classes existing in java.io, many useful classes to read easily text data (e.g., FileLinesCollection), bit streams, classes providing large-size memory mapping such as ByteBufferInputStream, and OfflineIterable -- the easy & fast way to store large sequences of objects on disk and iterate on them; - The it.unimi.dsi.util package, containing pseudorandom number generators, tries, immutable prefix maps, Bloom filters, a very comfortable Properties class and more; - The it.unimi.dsi.stat package, containing a lightweight class for computing basic statistics and an arbitrary-precision implementation of the Jackknife method; - Lots of utility methods in Util; - Big versions of I/O and utility classes in it.unimi.dsi.big.io and it.unimi.dsi.big.util; - The BulletParser, used to parse HTML and XML. This package is needed as a predependency of igv, which the Debian med team would like to package out of non-free. I am personnally aiming at this. The package will be maintained in the Debian Java team.
