Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the file package. file is of priority standard and comes with a library and thus the following additional packages are generated from the source: libmagic-dev, libmagic1 and python-magic. I believe the package to be in pretty good shape, even if the bug count suggests otherwise; most bugs are requests for the addition of new entries in the magic database and are not that urgent.
The package description is: File tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are three sets of tests, performed in this order: filesystem tests, magic number tests, and language tests. The first test that succeeds causes the file type to be printed. . Starting with version 4, the file command is not much more than a wrapper around the "magic" library. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
