Hi debian developers,

cppcheck [1] has been removed from testing [2] because of a sourceless 
javascript file [3].

Because of this I packaged (with patch and thanks from Octavio) a new dfsg 
version and uploaded on mentors [4] some time ago.
(I'm uploading it again right now since I forgot to put the bug reference into 
the changelog)

Also packaging the new release [5], give a gui [6] and html reporter [7] would 
be nice and I think easy to achieve, but it requires a go through the new queue 
and it is almost out of the scope of an NMU.

I personally consider cppcheck a great package, that helped so far me in 
spotting many possible vulnerabilities in packages I comaintain, helping me in 
providing more secure packages in debian repositories (as well as sending 
security fixes upstream).


So, please, can anybody sponsor this package and upload or just reject it from 
mentors?

Great tools shouldn't just disappear from debian IMAO.


I really would like to comaintain this package, but this is out of the scope of 
this mail.

cheers,


Gianfranco
