Please check the lists where you posted to for replies :)
Here goes the answer I sent you in March 1. And there was another
reply to your mailing as well in debian-perl.

Ok, it builds cleanly and seems to work correctly, so I will sponsor
it. I am making some minor changes to it:
debian/rules:
- After building the package, I am adding a '$(MAKE) test' - It is
always good to test your modules.
- In your 'clean' target, instead of manually calling 'rm -rf blib
LibRSVG.bs LibRSVG.c LibRSVG.o Makefile pm_to_blib', it is better to
call the module's cleanup function - I replaced it by '-$(MAKE)
realclean'
- Also in 'clean', I added a line to manually remove
examples/test.png, which is auto-generated during the build
process and breaks subsequent builds. Realclean does not remove it.
debian/changelog:
- Added a line stating the bug we are closing with the upload
- Added a line stating who is responsible for the upload (me)
debian/control:
- Changed from section: libdevel to section: perl
If the changes are OK with you, I will upload the package as soon as
you tell me to.
Now, I offer you also to integrate this module into the pkg-perl
Subversion repository, making it a module collectively maintained by
the pkg-perl group. What do you say?

CYBOI looking for Sponsor
Dear Debian Mentors, we are looking for a sponsor for our CYBOI package. I've already sent an ITP roughly describing it (see below). Our project members would be glad to see the package in Debian soon :-) In case somebody (potential sponsor?) wants to get more background information, we are open for any further questions concerning our project. In your reply, please put our developers list on CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks and Best Regards, Christian -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: ITP: cyboi -- The Cybernetics Oriented Interpreter (CYBOI) is needed to execute applications defined in the XML-based Cybernetics Oriented Language (CYBOL). Date: Monday 07 March 2005 18:09 From: Christian Heller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Christian Heller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: cyboi Version : 0.4.0.0 Upstream Author : Dennis Reichenbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.cybop.net/ http://www.cybop.org/ * http://developer.berlios.de/projects/cybop/ * License : (GPL) Description : The Cybernetics Oriented Interpreter (CYBOI) is needed to execute applications defined in the XML-based Cybernetics Oriented Language (CYBOL). Both are part of the Cybernetics Oriented Programming (CYBOP) project which provides a new theory to creating software systems. CYBOP aims at enabling domain experts (medicine, insurance, banking, transport etc.) who have no idea about programming, to create their own knowledge models to better be able to contribute to software development. Furthermore, CYBOP wants to eliminate the many inter-dependencies of classical software systems and the need to repeatedly apply the same software patterns, by separating application knowledge from more hardware-close system control. This all is somewhat comparable to XAML in WinFX (Windows Longhorn), only that it will be much better from a knowledge-modelling point of view, closer to nature and to the principles of human thinking ;-) It will allow to define not only GUIs, but complete applications in pure XML.
