[Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Tutorial D

[leandrod]

A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden

If it already is an official GNU package, it will be approved shortly.
Otherwise it must be discussed on address@hidden for approval. 

Leandro Guimarães Faria Corsetti <address@hidden> described the package as 
follows:
License: gpl
Other License: While I would like to use GNU GPL v2 from the start, depending 
on the deliberation of the project members we could have to start with an 
already existing RDBMS engine.  In this case we will try to stick to a GPL\'d 
or GPL-compatible one, but if we can\'t we may need to temporarily use another 
one while we build or adapt a GPL\'d one.
Package: Tutorial D
System name: tutoriald

Tutorial D

A Tutorial D data language implementation.

We need to create a Tutorial D language implementation according to both the 
Tutorial D syntax and the ideas behind The Third Manifesto, as a faithful 
embodiement of the relational database model theory.

This may be done from scratch or perhaps by creating a language front end to an 
existing RDBMS, such as GNU SQL Server, PostgreSQL, InterBase or Leap.

There are many thorny issues in this project: theoretical definitions, 
implementation and logical to physical mapping, and licensing if we choose to 
leverage an existing RDBMS.
