Bug#692264: ITP: double-conversion -- routines to convert IEEE doubles to and from strings
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Sébastien Villemot sebast...@debian.org User: debian-scie...@lists.debian.org Usertags: field..mathematics Control: block 691912 by -1 * Package name: double-conversion Version : 1.1.1-1 Upstream Author : Florian Loitsch floit...@google.com * URL : http://double-conversion.googlecode.com * License : BSD Programming Lang: C++ Description : routines to convert IEEE floats to and from strings The library provides routines to convert IEEE single and double floats to and from string representations. It offers at lot of flexibility with respect to the conversion format: shortest, fixed, precision or exponential representation; decimal, octal or hexadecimal basis; control over number of digits, leading/trailing zeros and spaces. The library consists of efficient conversion routines that have been extracted from the V8 JavaScript engine. The code has been refactored and improved so that it can be used more easily in other projects. -- .''`.Sébastien Villemot : :' :Debian Developer `. `' http://www.dynare.org/sebastien `- GPG Key: 4096R/381A7594 pgpdkYEePxhEr.pgp Description: PGP signature

libjs-double-conversion would be more appropriate, since
this is a javascript library. double-conversion is too
generic.
It's actually written in C++, not JS, so I don't think the libjs prefix
is appropriate.
The name double-conversion is taken from upstream, but I agree that it
is quite generic. I don't have any better idea, but suggestions are
welcome.
Sorry, misread the description there. In that case, libdoubleconversion
would be better for the binary packages (though the source package name
doesn't need changing).
Sure. I plan to use libdouble-conversion{,-dev,-dbg} (I prefer to keep
the hyphen in the binary package name, unless this is bad practice).
