Main Inclusion Report for boo

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boo/ available for all arches

2. Rationale: new (optional) depedency of monodevelop which is already in main. This enables language support for boo in monodevelop
3. Security: No security isses reported (but package is still pretty young).
4. Quality assurance:
   • The package contains a compiler and shell for the boo language which can be used right out the box with no additional efforts required

   • Maintained by Sam Clegg <samo@debian.org> in Debian

   • One important outstanding Debian Bug [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=317710 #317710] which I solved for Universe... I've contacted Sam Clegg to fix it, too

   • Lots of open major bugs in [http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/BOO upstream bug tracker], some of them open for more than half a year.

5. Standards compliance:
   • The package meets the FHS, Debian Policy and CLIPolicy
6. Dependencies:
   • Only depends on mono which is in main already

Reviewers

MartinPitt: software is still very young and has many bugs, IMHO a new programming language should mature a bit before we officially support it; however, it is okay security-wise. I'd like to get a second opinion on that.
