[ITP] rlwrap-0.24-1

[Maurício]

  Hi,

  I would like to maintain a package for rlwrap.
Homepage and Debian stable package for that program
are:

http://utopia.knoware.nl/~hlub/rlwrap
http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/rlwrap

  License is GPL. This is the description from the
author (also see setup.hint at the end of message):

"rlwrap is a 'readline wrapper' that uses the GNU
readline library to allow the editing of keyboard
input for any other command. Input history is
remembered across invocations, separately for each
command; history completion and search work as in bash
and completion word lists can be specified on the
command line."

  For instance, if you have a program 'foo' that
doesn't use readline to get input from command line,
you can run:

rlwrap foo

and everything works as if 'foo' was readline aware.

  Here are the files, generated by cygport:

ftp://ftp.mscsoftware.com/put/outgoing/cyg/setup.hint

ftp://ftp.mscsoftware.com/put/outgoing/cyg/rlwrap-0.24-1.tar.bz2

  Here is setup.hint:

######
sdesc: "Wraps GNU readline around keyboard input of
any command"
ldesc: "Uses the GNU readline library to allow the
editing of keyboard input for any other command. Input
history is remembered across invocations, separately
for each command; history completion and search work
as in bash and completion word lists can be specified
on the command line."
category: Utils
requires: cygwin readline

  Best regards,
  Maurício
