Description     : micro-framework for flowchart-like computing

 Arrowhead is a framework for constructing flow charts composed of steps
 connected by (possibly) conditional branches. Such flows can be executed,
 inspected (at runtime) and visualized (for documentation and verification)
 .
 The idea of flowchart computing is designed in a way that mimics a hand-made
 drawing, typically on a white-board or a piece of paper, that describes some
 process as a graph of interconnected steps.
 .
 Traditionally, once designed, the process is implemented as a collection of
 functions and classes. Very often the original idea of the process was
 supposed to work lost, especially after making changes over time. Usually it
 is impossible to easily reconstruct the initial idea from a complex
 implementation of that idea.
 .
 As an added issue, it is non-trivial to create derivative processes that
 somehow override, change, replace or remove parts of the process. This can
 affect one step or a particular group of steps.
 .
 The arrowhead framework aims to address both problems.
 .
 This package contains the python3 version of this library.

This package is an upcoming dependency of the plainbox package. Is also useful
to the re-emerging field of dataflow-driven computing and all kinds of flow
computing in general.

There are no similar packages in Debian that I could find (this is why I also
created arrowhead in the first place).

I will gladly co-maintain it in DPMT, along with my other packages.

Hi,

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

 owner 748677 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <748677@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,
