Package: arduino-cli
Version: 1.5.1-1
Severity: normal
Arduino CLI needs some additional binary tools to be installed to work
properly. Currently, these tools are installed automatically from an
Arduino-managed repository. This is not ideal from Debian's point of vue
as we prefer to provide all the binaries ourselves. Also, these tools
were not compiled for all the architectures that Debian supports, which
makes arduino-cli unusable on some architectures.
I made an initial patch that does this, by loading the tools directly
from /usr/libexec/arduino. [1] We now need to package the 5 needed tools,
so I created this bug to track this.
Here are the list of needed tools (the versions are not important, but I
kept them to demonstrate the required layout):
/usr/local/libexec/arduino/
└── builtin
└── tools

I started with mdns-discovery, for which I created the package
"arduino-mdns-discovery". I pushed this work in the go-team [2], but
we might want to move them to the debian-electronics team.
Most of them are written in Go, but some (at least ctags) are in C.
