Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adaptor for the core++ package. The package once was a dependency of the cgal package, but due to various reasons the cgal package now contains a patched copy of (parts of) the core++ sources (yes, I know this bad). I don't use core++ myself and lost interest in packaging it. Upstream development seems to be very slow, if there still is some, at all.
There is a request to package the newest upstream version 2.0 (see #545997). Actually, there was another upstream version 1.8, but no-one ever approached me to package it. The currently packaged version 1.7 has a couple of patches such that it compiles with recent gcc version and complies with Debian policy. I suggest that interested parties get in contact with me to learn more about the package, its challenges, etc. before adopting the package. I'll probably maintain the package on a low-effort basis until an adaptor shows up, but I might consider orphaning it or requesting its removal for squeeze+1. Description: The Core Library is a collection of C/C++ classes for exact computation with real algebraic numbers. It embodies a precision-driven approach and is useful for robust numerical (especially geometric) algorithms.
