Bug#741029: ITP: redo -- a top-down software build system

[Nils Dagsson Moskopp]

I have now written man pages for each redo executable and fixed a few
bugs in them. The archive with the binaries and man pages is here:


Extracting the files in the archive to /usr/local yields working redo
utilities and man pages on my Debian system.

I have successfully created a Debian package using equivs-build(1).
Where should I upload my package and the build instructions for it?

Bug#741029: ITP: redo -- a top-down software build system

[Nils Dagsson Moskopp]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Nils Dagsson Moskopp nils+debian-report...@dieweltistgarnichtso.net 

* Package name: redo
  Version : 0.0.1

* License : AGPLv3+

  Description : a top-down software build system

redo is a software build system envisioned by Daniel J. Bernstein, which is 
simultaneously smaller, faster, more powerful and less complex than make. 
Build scripts are shell scripts, but can be written in almost any language.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/introduction-to-redo.html

This implementation of redo is simpler and faster than the redo implementation 
by Avery Pennarun. While Pennarun's version of redo is written in Python, this 
version of redo depends only on the Bourne shell and standard utilities 
provided by the GNU coreutils or Busybox packages.

Caveat: This version of redo is missing the redo-ifcreate command, which 
creates dependencies on files not yet existing. Adding it should be simple.

As I am the upstream author, I maintain this version of redo. I expert 
maintenance effort to be low, as the software is essentially finished.

I probably need a sponsor for uploading the package.
