Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Debian Octave Group <pkg-octave-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>

[N.B.: This ITP was generated automatically from a template, even
though the DOG does intend to package the described software for
Debian.  We apologize for the glitches in the text below.]


* Package name    : octave-video
  Version         : 1.0.0
  Upstream Author : Stefan van der Walt, Roman Stanchak
* URL             : http://octave.sourceforge.net/video/index.html
* License         : BSD
  Programming Lang: C++, Octave
  Description     : Implements addframe, avifile, aviinfo, and
aviread, using ffmpeg. (and approximately conforms to Matlab interface)

This is one of the packages distributed by the octave-forge project
using the pkg.m system introduced in version 3 of Octave [1], a
numerical computation software.

Although users can use directly the pkg() command for installing the
octave-forge pkgs, the Debian Octave Group (DOG) [2] will provide them
as Debian packages. Preliminary versions of the packages can be found
in the DOG SVN repository [3].  The final versions of the packages
will be built using the octave-pkg-dev insfrastructure [4] [5].

The full list of octave-forge pkgs can be found at the SF project
website [6].

Subject: Closing ITP for octave-video without upload

Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 11:04:40 +0200

Hi, 
I'm closing this ITP without upload. The octave-forge video package is
without an upstream maintainer (see upstream commit 7497) and hasn't
seen any real commits for more than a year.

I don't see any sense to bring it into Debian in the current state of
affairs.

	Thomas
