Ignore me. Can't spot the difference between a "p" and a "t" apparently.
I'm sorry for the noise.

There is already a source package named zmat [1] in Debian…
As I'm seeing also one in the NEW queue [2] , so I guess something is wrong
here…

[1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/zmap Currently at version 2.1.1:
[2] https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/zmat_0.9.8%2Bds-1.html, older version 0.98

(CC'ing ftpmaster, so that they can evaulate if the package in NEW needs to be
rejected.)

Bug#962603: ITP: zmat -- A portable C-library and MATLAB toolbox for data compression

2020-06-10 Thread Qianqian Fang

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Name:   zmat
Version:    0.9.8
Summary:    An easy-to-use data compression library
License:    GPLv3+
URL:    https://github.com/fangq/zmat

Description:
ZMat provides both an easy-to-use C-based data compression library -
libzmat as well a portable mex function to enable 
zlib/gzip/lzma/lzip/lz4/lz4hc

based data compression/decompression and base64 encoding/decoding
support in MATLAB and GNU Octave. It is fast and compact,
can process a large array within a fraction of a second.

Comment:
I am the upstream author and current package maintainer of this
library/toolbox for Fedora (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/zmat ,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/octave-zmat).
I am interested in contributing this library/octave toolbox to Debian.
First time Debian contributor, see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2020/06/msg6.html
Current packaging files can be found at 
https://salsa.debian.org/fangq/libzmat

Will need mentor/sponsor on finishing up the package.
