  Description     : multi-precision rational interval arithmetic library

GNU MPRIA is a mathematical C library for rational interval arithmetic
computations with arbitrary precision.

The basic principle of rational interval arithmetic consists in enclosing
every number by a rational interval containing it: each number is stored
as its lower and upper endpoints and these bounds are rational numbers;
their absolute difference measures the precision. The purpose is on the
right hand to obtain guaranteed results, thanks to interval computation,
and on the left hand to compute accurate results, thanks to arbitrary
precision arithmetic.

The arithmetic operations are extended for interval operands in such
a way that the exact result of the operation belongs to the computed
rational interval.

The GNU MPRIA library is built upon the GNU MP library for operating
on rational numbers.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging mpria. 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 mpria 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 mpria, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <737696@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,
