Package: wnpp Version: filed 2003-09-20 Severity: wishlist * Package name : bibclean Version : 2.11.4 Upstream Author : Nelson H.F. Beebe <beebe<at>math.utah.edu> * URL : http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibclean/ * Licence : No copyright notices in upstream tarball; will contact author for license clarification. Description : pretty-printer for BibTeX databases
This is a pretty-printer and syntax-checker (actually, more of a linter) for bibliographic databases in the BibTeX format. It is a useful tool for canonicalizing the layout of personal bibliographies with entries fetched from many different sources. I have used this myself for several years at work and was surprised to find that it wasn't in Debian when I moved my bibliography to my own Debian box. I have done most of the packaging and have a sponsor for uploading, but still need to contact the upstream author to get a proper license. There is no copyright or license information in the upstream tarball, but newer programs by the same author are GPL'ed so the odds of getting a free license should be good. -- Henning Makholm "Det er jo svært at vide noget når man ikke ved det, ikke?"
