Control: retitle: ITP: helix -- efficient console-based modal text editor
Release 23.05 succesfully builds as an unofficial draft package,
embedding 68 crates (57 missing, 1 unwanted, 10 outdated)
which needs to be packaged before this can officially enter Debian.
Hi Laurent!
I have taken the initiative to create a draft packaging of Helix. You
are quite welcome to collaborate with me on maintaining it, and/or help
by packaging some of the crates still missing in Debian.
I am not in the Rust team, since we disagree on the style of packaging.
That should not hold you back from working in that team on crates needed
for Helix.
If you - or anyone else reading this - is interested in collaborating
directly on Helix packaging for Debian, then please join its Salsa
project here: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hx
If you want to work on simpler tasks then please join the Rust team and
work with them on packaging some of the crates needed for Helix:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hx/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/TODO
NB! If you choose to help by packaging needed crates, then please file
an ITP bugreport for each crate that you package, as that helps
coordinate our efforts. I mention this because the Rust team consider
it superfluous to file ITPs for crates, but I disagree: It really is
helpful for coordinating efforts.
- Jonas
