Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : sng Version : 1.0.1 Upstream Author : Eric S. Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://sng.sourceforge.net * License : libpng/zlib Description : a markup language for expressing the contents of a PNG in an editable, all-text form.
"SNG is a specialized markup language for expressing the contents of a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) in an editable, all-text form. The project supports the sng compiler, which can translate between SNG and PNG." -- from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sng/ "SNG (Scriptable Network Graphics) is a minilanguage designed specifically to represent the entire contents of a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file in an editable form. Thus, SNGs representing elaborate graphics images and ancillary chunk data can be readily generated or modified using only text tools. SNG is implemented by a compiler/decompiler called sng that losslessly translates between SNG and PNG." -- from http://sng.sourceforge.net As you might guess from the descriptions quoted above, SNG is a very useful program--allowing the manipulation of PNGs using text mode tools. The upstream author provides RPM-based source and binary packages, but no one has a debian package available either in debian or anywhere listed at apt-get.org. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux saidin 2.4.22-1-686-smp #5 SMP Sat Oct 4 14:35:05 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
