Hello, I have packaged Tinyarray [1], that is a prerequisite for packaging Kwant [2], a library for simulating nanoelectronic devices that is in wide use by the respective research community. Several people from debian-science have expressed their willingness to sponsor the upload of Kwant.
Since Tinyarray is a generic Python package (similar to NumPy), I believe that it belongs to the debian-python team. So far, I have prepared a packaging repository for Tinyarray [3]. The packaging has been reviewed by Steve Robbins (in CC). Would someone be so kind to create a repository on salsa.debian.org for Tinyarray and put it under group maintenance by the debian-python team? I am cwg-guest on salsa, but so far I'm not even a Debian contributor. Still, being the main author of Tinyarray, I commit myself to maintain the packaging. I guess that the repository [3] can be simply cloned at salsa and the current non-official packaging history may be kept. I verified yesterday that the package builds on both testing and stable. Once the package is in unstable/testing, I would also like to create a backport for current stable, so that I can shut down the unofficial debian package repository at https://kwant-project.org/. Thanks, Christoph [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=886628 [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=886418 [3] https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/kwant/tinyarray
