Bug#679913: unblock: frog/0.12.15-3

[Joost van Baal-Ilić]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: freeze-exception

Hi,

Please unblock package frog.

Wheezy currently has frog/0.12.9-3.  Since frog/0.12.15-3 has new upstream
code, with lots of bugfixes, and depends upon the new frogdata package, both me
and upstream (Ko van der Sloot) consider this new version much more suitable
for inclusion in Debian wheezy.

Upstream writes about 0.12.15:
 
 Frog can be considered beta software, and, as of 2012-06, is being stabilized.
 All planned functionality (including a dependency parser, the multi-word
 chunker, Named Entity Recognition, Chunking and error handling and reporting)
 has been implemented and tested.

The new frogdata package is "architecture: all", it installs about 100 MB of
data.  Package frog in wheezy (arch: any) installs 70 MB, frog in sid installs 
500 kB.

The only other change in frog 0.12.9-3 vs 0.12.15-3 is: more strict build
dependencies.

unblock frog/0.12.15-3

Thanks for your time!

Bye,

Joost
