Hi John, Sophie and the Security Tools team, Thanks for the pointer, John. I've used Kali's binwalk3 packaging as a reference for a Debian draft of upstream 3.1.0 in the Rust team's debcargo-conf: https://salsa.debian.org/dfukui/debcargo-conf/-/tree/binwalk3?ref_type=heads
Like Kali's, it builds librust-binwalk-dev and binwalk3 and installs the command as /usr/bin/binwalk3. It also relaxes dependencies to the versions in unstable, fixes two doctests that need a host file, and excludes scripts/binwalk-ui. It builds in sbuild and passes autopkgtest on amd64. Sophie, would you review it or join as co-uploader? I'd also like to understand why Kali depends on sasquatch (not in Debian) and limits binwalk3 to amd64/arm64. Security Tools team, I'd appreciate your view on: 1. Coexistence: binwalk3 as a new package and command, leaving binwalk and python3-binwalk unchanged. Any conflicts I should handle? 2. Maintenance: the Rust packages stay with the Rust team, and I coordinate with you on coexistence and any later migration. Does this arrangement fit the team's expectations? 3. Long term: binwalk 2.x is EOL (#1107530), so I'd aim to retire it once binwalk3 has matured. Does the team agree with this direction? Thanks, -- Fukui Daichi GPG key: 4096R/9EF66C2D2315BB7C
