Bug#1019497: O: watchman -- file watching service
Hello again, After taking a look over the current source code in GitHub, I noticed that it is a nightmare (for me). 1. The most complicated for me: there are 5 embedded libraries (in watchman/thirdparty/). This is a very bad thing because these libraries are old and vulnerable. 2. The program has source code based in 5 different languages (C++, Python, Rust, Java and Thrift). 3. There are several relevant issues opened (including a question about FTBFS in Ubuntu 22.04). I lost interest in adopting this package. Thanks for your previous work. Cheers, Eriberto

I've just uploaded a version (4.9.0-7) with the fix. I will check this package soon. I am interested in adopting it, but I need to take a look over the source before. Thanks for your work.

Do you know if the python issues were fixed in the latest version upstream? Cheers, Eriberto
Bug#1019497: O: watchman -- file watching service
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Control: affects -1 src:watchman I haven't been using this package in a while, and the latest version upstream requires some work to get into Debian, which I cannot afford right now. The current version is dated and there a few issues with the python module that would need to be fixed if it's to make Bookworm. It also depends on an obsolete pcre3 library and the best course of action is to upgrade to the latest version upstream. If you use this package and would like to maintain it, please adopt it. It's a good and useful package and deserves someone who can spend some quality time on it. -- Anuradha
