Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-r...@lists.debian.org Anki is a superb flashcard system for learning anything. It used to be a straightforward Python package with some JavaScript for the front end. But over the last couple of years, it has migrated to a combination of Rust, Python and JavaScript (using node). (It went via the unpackaged Bazel package building system, but it's now migrated away from that.)
I do not have the capacity to maintain this lovely package now that it has become significantly more complex. It is currently in unstable at version 2.1.15, which was a Python-only version (plus a bit of JavaScript). It no longer builds on testing, and did not make it into bookworm; upstream is now at 2.1.65. I have had several requests to update the package and bring it back into Debian, both via the BTS and via personal emails. If anyone would like to pick up where I left off, please do let me know. I'd be happy to share with you what I learnt from the Python version, but how relevant that will be for the new Rust/Python/JavaScript incarnation, I do not know. (And I don't know how many other dependencies will need to be packaged from scratch, unfortunately. And one further complication is that Cargo.toml also lists three forked crates....) Many thanks! Julian
