Description Johannes Findeisen 2004-09-26 16:20:40 UTC

Styx is a scanner and parser generator designed to address some shortcomings of the traditional lex/yacc combination. 

It has unique features like automatic derivation of depth grammar, production of the derivation tree including it's C interface which provides access to the abstract syntax tree, preservation of full source information and pretty printing to faciliate source-source translation, persistence to aid rapid interpreter writing.

Bouncing this out of my queue... I stick to portage for the most part

Doesn't look like the package has seen much development since 2004 (admittedly December though). Is the upstream still alive?

Comment 5 Johannes Findeisen 2006-03-25 07:39:02 UTC

Yes, the upstream is alive. I personally know the developer of the package and i could say: the development is not dead. It would be great if Styx could become a part of gentoo linux.

I really could write an ebuild for the next version of Styx too...
