I don't think you were trying to ride off a "I hope someone will want to pick 
this up", but if you were then he doesn't need any. I'll take care of it. Per 
rust packaging team standards, this should be converted into an ITP. ("Don't 
file ITPs for library crates, but do file them for binary crates.")

In reality I just need to contribute more to Debian so I can do more stuff with 
Cinnamon, but a small package like this should be easy to maintain, and with 
debcargo it should be an easy chore.


Bug#909228: RFP: loop -- "UNIX's missing loop command!"

Severity: RFP

loop lets you write powerful, intuitive looping one-liners in your favorite
shell! For example:

loop './do_thing.sh' --every 15s --until-success --num 5

..And lots more!

I'm the author of this tool which I find extremely handy, and I'd love it
if I could (eventually) use it on my servers without having to import any
external keys!

Would anybody be interested in stepping up to help polish the application
enough to make an official Debian package? :)

Thanks!
