It's more involved, as somebody filed a RFS without turning the RFP into an ITP, and therefore tricked me into sponsoring the Ubuntu upload. Besides, the RFS owner never replied... https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=849493 > maybe debian can use the ubuntu package: The problem is that in Debian somebody uploading a package makes a commitment of maintaining it, something that in Ubuntu doesn't exist where you can just upload once and forget... (well, it's not written that has to be like that, but this is the reality). So unless somebody steps up to actively maintain the package, it won't appear in Debian. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `- signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Vc: SIMD Vector Classes for C++
Hi group! I'm currently trying to get the ubuntu package sources for vc-dev up to date, so I thought I might find the package in debian, hoping that an update there would eventually trickle down. But it's not there - at least I can't find it. I think this is an omission, and therefore I'd like to propose that Vc should find it's way into debian. I believe it qualifies as sufficiently free and it's definitely useful. Please have a look at it's site: https://github.com/VcDevel/Vc with regards Kay F. Jahnke
