Bug#522142: ITP: Qoreutils -- Coreutils reimplemented using Qt libraries

2009-04-01 Thread Sune Vuorela
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sune Vuorela 


* Package name: Qoreutils
  Version : 1.0.0
  Upstream Author : John Doe 
* URL : http://www.qoreutils.org/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C++ with Qt
  Description : Coreutils reimplemented using Qt libraries

Qoreutils is a reimplementation of the classic tools from coreutils,
such as ls, mkdir and cp

I'm packaging this on behalf of the Debian Qt/KDE maintainers as a first
step towards making the Qt libraries Essential: yes and on the way to
take over the world.

Currently, the package will dpkg-divert all the implemented tools of
coreutils to shake out any remaining bugs and if any bugs found,  the
user can fall back to command.coreutils as a last way out. Within the
next couple of months, it will instead have replace/conflict/provides
coreutils and slowly push out coreutils from the most users machines.

For KMess, we have recently switched to Tcl/Tk (TMess):
http://kmess.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3894
We did this mainly because we thought Qt and KDE was very inferior and
insuperior to Tcl/Tk. A lot of projects are making the same smart decision.

I think coreutils should not be rewritten in Qt but in Tcl, because it
will be the fastest, easiest and most maintainable solution. I for one
accept TclCoreutils, and with it Tcl, as my leader.

Thanks but this won't be necessary.  We just uploaded a GCC patch
that converts coreutils to use Qt.  No source changes are needed.
