Hi,
I'm a co-maintainer of Helix in Debian. I'm preparing to upload a new source
package, hx-grammars. It bundles Helix's tree-sitter highlight plugins
as a set,
tracking the current hx package version, and produces two binary packages:
hx-highlight-core and hx-highlight-extra.
- Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/Junyong-Liang/hx-grammars
- Mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/package/hx-grammars/
- Related: bug #1100003 (hx: syntax highlighting requires building
grammar plugins
locally)
Jonas has already reviewed my upstream-facing changes and merged them
into src:hx
(which now provides hx-plugin-dev, on which this package build-depends).
He also
considers the package functionally ready, but given the scale of the
vendored
grammars — a maintenance style he is not familiar with — he does not
feel he can
take responsibility for it as a co-maintainer, and suggested I go via
mentors.debian.net to find someone more used to this kind of
maintenance. So what I
still need is: a DD willing to review it and sponsor one NEW upload.
Since your team maintains packages against this same set of tree-sitter
grammar
upstreams, you are probably more familiar with packaging these grammars
than most
DDs. So I would like to ask:
1. Recommend a DD from the team to review the NEW queue upload and
sponsor one
upload; or
2. If no one on the team is available right now, just point me to any
Debian member
willing to review it.
The Maintainer field stays with me, and I will continue to maintain the
package
going forward.
Best regards,
Junyong Liang
