Hi guys, so good to see some activity around here!
I tried to package Arduino a while ago but failed miserably and got
distracted with some other projects. I’ll return to it when I find the
time.
I’m sorry but I don’t remember exactly in what state did I leave the
packaging. IIRC, I made preliminary packages for three dependencies:
* liblistSerials [0]
* arduino-builder [1]
- golang-go-errors-errors [2]
And I was using Ignacio's package for MrBean [3]. Tried to use Geert's
package of the reference files [4] but I wasn't able to build it. But
since they are "only" reference files I went on without it.

I could, if you wish, upload the repository as it is right now, however
it doesn’t even build, so I’m a little bit reluctant to upload
anything. A quick first try to build today failed with the following
error:

At first sight it seems the class ‘org.bouncycastle.util.Iterable’ is
found on the version of the Bouncy Castle Crypto package shipped with
Arduino (version 1.52, a jar file named ‘bcpg-jdk15on-152.jar’) but is
not found on the Debian package ‘libbcpg-java’ (currently at version
1.59).

Well, the idea was that the packages, once uploaded to Debian, would
keep track of upstream movements via uscan and the debian/watch file.
And of course the repositories would be moved to Salsa, either to
collab-maint or under the umbrella of Debian Science or the Electronics
teams.
