Problem with detection of hard disks on a hub

[ralf.lehme...@web.de]

Hello!

I've been trying to get Openmediavault ( built on Debian ) to run on a
ThinClient Dell Wyse 7010 for a few days now.
Unfortunately, my external WD-Elements ( 4TB and 8TB ) hard drives are
not recognized.
Sie hängen an einem USB 3.0 7-fach Hub wie diesem hier :
https://www.ebay.de/itm/165014450282?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20220822113838%26meid%3D837cdac160cc40fbafcf768578aee19e%26pid%3D101524%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D165014450282%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2%26brand%3DMarkenlos&_trksid=p2380057.c101524.m146925&_trkparms=pageci%3A151ac8f8-c98a-11ed-9ae2-06cdc51b896c%7Cparentrq%3A0ef3574a1870a9bd50e62d70fffec404%7Ciid%3A1

These hard drives and the hub have already served well on my Dell
Optiplex 360, running Linux Manjaro.
So I don't know why it doesn't work on the ThinClient Dell Wyse 7010.

The only idea is that Debian does not recognize the hub because it does
not have the appropriate drivers.
Now I would be interested in how to get this hub working again, or a
hint which hub works with Debian.
I would also like to have more ports.

Many thanks in advance.

Sincerely R.Lehmeier

Bug#1033361: ITP: dunamai -- dynamic versioning library and CLI

[Jakub Ružička]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Jakub Ružička 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

* Package name: dunamai
  Version : 1.16.0
  Upstream Contact: Matthew T. Kennerly 
* URL : https://github.com/mtkennerly/dunamai
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : dynamic versioning library and CLI

Dunamai is a Python library and command line tool for producing dynamic,
standards-compliant version strings, derived from tags in your version control
system. This facilitates uniquely identifying nightly or per-commit builds in
continuous integration and releasing new versions of your software simply by
creating a tag.

I plan to maintain this nice tool along with poetry-dynamic-versioning from
the same author which integrates Dunamai into Poetry as a plugin.

I have the packaging ready for review in Salsa repo:

https://salsa.debian.org/jruzicka/dunamai

Salsa CI is green including lintian and simple autopkgtest. I've wrote
a manpage as well.

Note that this is the first time I've used poetry-core with pyproject pybuild
system and it seems to work, awesome stuff!

I'd like to join PythonTeam and maintain this alongside other python projects.

FYI at the time of writing, Dunamai is packaged for:

* Arch/Manjaro
* Fedora >= 36
* nixpkgs >= 22.05
