License: other
Other License: GNU General Public License V2 (not later for now)
No LGPL, reliciensing for closed source projects will be possible for some fee (i need

Package: MaLa (MacroLanguage)
System name: mala
Type: GNU
Description:
MaLa is a small extendable macro language which can be embedded in applications.
MaLa will be implemented natively for different languages:
1) C/libhackerlab
2) C/glibc
3) Standard C++
4) Python (maybe)
5) Pike (maybe)
6) Prolog (likely)
Its main purposes are:
* Program option parsing much easier than getopt.
* Loading configfiles.
* Providing an interactive commandline UI.
* Scripting support for small system tools.
Theres is a Wiki for design discussions on:
http://cehteh.homeunix.org/pipawiki/MaLa
note: currently very incomplete and confusing, will be cleaned up sometime.
Other Software Required:
Depending on the flavour of MaLa some Languages and extra libraries are required but
most of this dependencies will be optional.
- Tom Lord's alternaive C-Runtime 'libhackerlab'
- libreadline (optional)
- Python
- Pike
Other Comments:
MaLa will not be hosted on CVS, i use Tom Lord's arch instead.
When MaLa becomes useable I would like to proprose it as a official GNU-Project as a
new much better getopt alternative.
