I am not a member of the Debian Med team on Salsa, which must have been what stopped me before. This was I think the last of my Debian Med packages so little point adding me now. Instead, I've pushed the changes to: https://git.sr.ht/~irl/debian-nutsqlite.git You can pull from there and push back to Salsa. The package probably needs a little modernizing, like debhelper compat level. Just remove me from uploaders when you make an upload. >> If you do take this on, you might want to look at splitting out the data >> from the application to reduce the size of the arch specific binaries, >> and maybe even (if possible) encourage reuse of the data across >> applications (the USDA database in particular). > > If I'm not misleaded the whole package is arch all so I do not see > any actual need for splitting as long as there is no other package > inside Debian that needs thoses data. You're right, it's been so long that I'd forgotten that this is a Tcl package. There still might be a use case for splitting out the database, but perhaps it is more difficult in this incarnation of NUT because now the database is integrated into the sqlite db. This was just something I had in my notes from a while ago and wanted to mention because I bet there's other nutrition software out there that uses the USDA database even if it's not yet in Debian. There may be no standard format to consume it in. Thanks, Iain.
