Hi all,
I am looking for a sponsor for the package "basex".
BaseX is a native XML database and XPath/XQuery processor written entirely in Java. Besides it supports the latest W3C Full Text and Update Recommendations. BaseX can be operated from command line, in client/server mode, or using a GUI.
Package name : basex Version : 6.5.1-1ubuntu1~ppa3 Upstream Author : Christian Gruen et al. URL : http://www.basex.org License : BSD Section : database
The package appears to be lintian clean.
My motivation for maintaining this package is:
* apt-cache search xquery should provide more results than just galax, saxon, and xqilla. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_database gives an overview and this package fills a gap.
* BaseX is especially useful when learning XPath/XQuery. BaseX offers a very nice and interactive XQuery Editor and XML visualizations Screenshots: http://basex.org/products/gui/
* I'm part of the developer team and I'm sure I can convince the guys to make BaseX as Debian compliant as possible.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: * URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/basex * Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free * dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/basex/basex_6.5.1-1ubuntu1~ppa3...
Description: XML database and XPath/XQuery processor BaseX is a very fast and light-weight, yet powerful XML database and XPath/XQuery processor, including support for the latest W3C Full Text and Update Recommendations.
