thanks

Hi,

I'd be interested in adopting smlnj, it's a good piece of software and
there's a new upstream version. I'm also currently using it for some
projects for my classes. It looks like the build system is currently
quite complex though.

Here's my changelog for the moment:

smlnj (110.70-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Switch to debhelper compat level 7.
  * debian/control:
    - Replace obsolete tetex-extra with texlive-latex-extra in
      Build-Depends-Indep.
    - New maintainer (Closes: #428273)
    - Update to Debian Policy 3.8.3.
    - Move smlnj-doc to Section: doc to follow Debian override file.
    - Remove duplicate words from descriptions
  * debian/watch: Added commented watch file.
  * debian/rules:
    - Add dh_installchangelog calls for libckit-smlnj.
    - Update to reflect namechange of templates in debian directory.
    - Use dh_prep instead of dh_clean -k.
  * debian/smlnj-doc.prerm: Call with set -e to follow Debian Policy 10.4.
  * debian/dirs: Deleted, superfluous file.
  * debian/patches/01_fix-bashism.patch: Don't use the builtin "function".
    (Closes: #530119)
  * debian/{_wrapper,_postinst,_prerm}: Rename templates to filename.in.

Still on the todo list:

 * Write manpages for ml-antlr and ml-ulex.
 * Expand on the short descriptions.
 * Go through the packaging in detail, especially the install scripts
   and the rules file.
 * Seeing if anything more can be done about 424056.

I do have a question though: why do you say "don't even try to build on
sparc"?

Regards,
Daniel
