Bug#1034861: ITP: libanyevent-riperedis-perl -- Flexible non-blocking Redis client
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Alexander Zangerl X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: libanyevent-riperedis-perl Version : 0.48 Upstream Author : Eugene Ponizovsky, * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/AnyEvent-RipeRedis * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: (pure) Perl Description : Flexible non-blocking Redis client This module provides a flexible non-blocking Redis client which supports subscriptions, transactions and automatic reconnection. i'm packaging this because the sole alternative package in debian (libanyevent-redis-perl) has fewer features, is buggier and has an inactive upstream with a near-zero chance of fixes (e.g. open issues and pull requests going back to 2013).
Bug#1032097: ITP: libpromise-xs-perl -- Fast promises in Perl
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Alexander Zangerl X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: libpromise-xs-perl Version : 0.18 Upstream Author : Tom van der Woerdt , Felipe Gasper https://metacpan.org/release/Promise-XS * License : Artistic Programming Lang: Perl, C Description : Fast promises in Perl This module provides a Promises/A+ interface with its major parts implemented in XS for speed. It is a fork and refactor of AnyEvent::XSPromises, and retains that module's bare-bones interface. This is one of a few Promises implementations in perl, none of which have made it into debian yet. i think it's time to change that.
Bug#968072: ITP: libdata-downsample-largesttrianglethreebuckets-perl -- Perl module for downsampling time series for visual representation

The technique is described in detail in Sveinn Steinarsson's thesis which can be found at https://skemman.is/handle/1946/15343
Bug#968070: ITP: liblinux-termios2-perl -- Perl module for accessing the termios2 structure and ioctl

The primary use case is setting arbitrary baud rates, because POSIX::Termios only knows the standard speeds up to 38400 baud.

Bug#803015: ITP: glimpse -- search quickly through entire file systems
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Alexander Zangerl * Package name: glimpse Version : 4.18.6 Upstream Author : Golda Velez * URL : http://webglimpse.net/ * License : ISC, simplified BSD Programming Lang: C Description : search quickly through entire file systems Glimpse, which stands for GLobal IMPlicit SEarch, is a very popular UNIX indexing and query system that allows you to search through a large set of files very quickly. Glimpse supports most of agrep's options (agrep is our powerful version of grep) including approximate matching (e.g., finding misspelled words), Boolean queries, and even some limited forms of regular expressions. glimpse was present in non-free until 2008, as the license at that time wasn't DFSG-compatible (see #474323). upstream has switched the license to the ISC/simplified BSD in 2014, and glimpse should thus fit nicely into main.
