  Description     : Higher Order Rewriting Engine with Extensions for Compiler Generation

The purpose of CRSX is to implement an extended higher-order rewriting formalism to facilitate writing compilers
and other syntax-directed transformation systems, specifically:

* Special notations for using embedded syntax, even higher order abstract syntax.
* Special support for symbol tables, environments, and attributes, as used in compilers.
* A polymorphic sort system (which in practice means that CRSX systems are contraction schemes).
* CRSX systems can be compiled directly to native code (so far in C or Java (experimental)) for effective execution.

The system is used in IBM for production use and is the basis for the HACS compiler generator
used for teaching compilers at NYU by the author.

Hi,

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

 retitle 759570 ITP: crsx-java -- Higher Order Rewriting Engine with Extensions for Compiler Generation
 owner 759570 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <759570@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,
