Hi Yavor,

Yes I'm still interested in hosting the project at Savannah.

I agree with your requirements to add the copyright and license notice to every source file, I already did it with most of the files in my own mercurial repository. I'm sorry about the name of the licence. In fact I thought it was the "MIT licence" because I saw it with this name in other projects, then I learned that it shouldn't be called by that name, and I missed the correct name. So you can rename it Expat license in the description of the project. I like this license because it's very short.

It's no problem renaming the file containing the license.

 Best regards.

Hi Eric,

Sorry for the delay in processing your project.

It looks basically OK, however note that 1) The file containing the license is usually named COPYING; 2) All non-trivial source files should have a copyright and licence notice; 3) The license of the package is actually the Expat license (I'll change that before approving the project).

Are you still interested in hosting it at Savannah?  If so, I think it can be approved right away.

Registration Details


  • Name: quail, an extension of TeXmacs for literate programming.
  • System Name:  quail
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: X11 license





Description:

quail is an extension of GNU/TeXmacs editing platform which can extract and run programs written within TeXmacs documents.

It provides user interaction with the code at editing time by the means of action links inserted in the document, turning the editor into an integrated development environment. Typical usage could be a TeXmacs session in interaction with a session of python's built in IDE (idle), with the code written in the editor executing in idle's shell window.

quail is written in python, and the first targetted programming language is python, but is extensible to other languages by adding functionalities written in python.

quail includes a parser and a writer for TeXmacs documents, written in python and can highlight code in the documents, using the python module pygments. The document structure produced by this parser is usable for other modifications of the document.


Other Software Required:

GNU/TeXmacs (GPL license) www.texmacs.org
pygments (BSD license) http://pygments.org
pyro (MIT software license) http://pyro.sourceforge.net/


Other Comments:

The project will be hosted as a mercurial repository.

The source code will be written in texmacs documents, using an experimental version of quail which runs. Automated tools will extract python code from these sources and the resulting python modules will be included in the repository.
