  Description     : Provides OCaml Bindings to the Piqi Serialization Format

Piqi is a multi-format data serialization system for OCaml.
It provides a uniform interface for serializing OCaml data structures to
JSON, XML and Protocol Buffers formats.
..
This package provides the necessary programs and libraries to write OCaml
programs which use data serialized in Piqi compatible formats.

This package is useful as the primary gateway between OCaml code and
Protocol Buffer serialized data. As such, it is important to keeping those two
languages able to speak efficiently to others.

piqi-ocaml has as a dependency not yet in debian - piqi
 - ITP #761343
 - RFS #761486
 - https://mentors.debian.net/package/piqi

My hope is that long term maintenance could be supported by the OCaml Team.

Hi,

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

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <761498@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,
