Dear Maintainer,

Please add expect-lite package to Squeeze & Wheezy

Expect-lite is build on expect and basic expect-lite scripts can be created by
simply cutting and pasting text from a terminal window into a script, and
adding '>' '<' characters.

This package is already part of the Ubuntu and Gentoo distros.

Additionally, Sergei Golovan, the maintainer of expect, has agreed to upload
the package.

I (the author and maintainer of expect-lite) will continue to maintain the
package.

thank you.

Since you will be the Maintainer of the package I think you wanted to
file an ITP (Intent to Package) and not an RFP (Request to package).
Please provide also the other informations usually included in an ITP
(see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l2 )

Kind regards,
Andrei

For reference, the package will also _not_ be in squeeze or wheezy, as
they are both already released.

It could, of course, be provided via {squeeze,wheezy}-backports once
the package makes it as far as testing.

Regards,

Adam

Thanks Adam,

Yes, I am hoping to get the expect-lite package added as backports to the
already released versions of Debian.

thanks,

Craig...

  Written in expect, it is designed to directly map an interactive terminal
  session into an automation script. expect-lite scripts use special
  character(s) at the beginning of each line to indicate the action. Basic
  expect-lite scripts can be created by simply cutting and pasting text from a
  terminal window into a script, and adding '>''<' characters. No knowledge of
  expect is required!

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging expect-lite. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of expect-lite from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging expect-lite, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 729595 ITP: expect-lite -- easy to use version of expect
 owner 729595 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <729595@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
