** Summary changed: - [needs-packaging] No package for libconfig project + [needs-packaging] libconfig – C/C++ Configuration File Library
** Description changed: - There currently is no package for libconfig - (http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/). This is a very well designed, - constructed, and documented configuration file parser for C/C++ - applications. It has already been debianized it and it should be added. - If the existing maintainer has no interest in keeping it maintained, I - will be glad to do so. + Libconfig is a simple library for manipulating structured configuration + files, like this one: test.cfg. This file format is more compact and + more readable than XML. And unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not + necessary to do string parsing in application code. + + Libconfig is very compact — just 38K for the stripped C shared library + (less than one-fourth the size of the expat XML parser library) and 66K + for the stripped C++ shared library. This makes it well-suited for + memory-constrained systems like handheld devices. + + The library includes bindings for both the C and C++ languages. It works + on POSIX-compliant UNIX systems (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD) + and Windows (2000, XP and later). + + URL: http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/ + License: GNU LGPL v2 + + [Original bug description] + There currently is no package for libconfig.
