Package Information

DescriptionPortable Roaring bitmaps in C (and C++) (headers)

Bitsets, also called bitmaps, are commonly used as fast data structures. Unfortunately, they can use too much memory. To compensate, we often use compressed bitmaps. Roaring bitmaps are compressed bitmaps which tend to outperform conventional compressed bitmaps such as WAH, EWAH or Concise.

This package provides library headers.

Changelog
croaring (4.6.1+ds-0.1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Theodore Tucker ]
   * Non-maintainer upload
   * New upstream release (Closes: #1122578)
   * Update Debian packaging for v4.6.1
     - debian/control:
         - New ABI version: 0 -> 21
         - Depend on libcmocka at build-time for upstream tests
     - debian/copyright: update as per upstream changes
     - debian/patches:
         - Remove existing patches for v0.2.66
         - Add patch to bump CRoaring's minimum CMake version to 3.11, as
           unstable's CMake refuses to build projects with a minimum < 3.5
     - debian/rules:
         - Update build instructions as per upstream changes
         - Disable building unit tests, as these trigger the amalgamation.sh
           script which bypasses dh's hardening
