Indeed, unfortunately sloccount doesn't seem to be actively maintained, a merge request for Rust support didn't get any attention: https://sourceforge.net/p/sloccount/code/merge-requests/5/ > Do we have any plan of updating this infrastructure?

We'd need to: - Find a suitable alternative (supports a superset of sloccount languages, has decent performances). - Replace the execution and parsing of sloccount output by this alternative (in https://salsa.debian.org/qa/debsources/-/blob/master/lib/debsources/plugins/hook_sloccount.py?ref_type=heads). - To keep things consistent, run it on the whole archive to replace sloccount results. Insights on the first point are particularly welcome. Cheers, -- Matthieu
