Hi David, I work in the debian-rust team on the general rust crates ecosystem. Shortwave is one of the programs for which I have worked towards getting it's dependencies into Debian. There's still some levels of dependencies missing, and the tooling does not yet support packaging of crates that are not published on crates.io which is the case for shortwave, but that's in the works [0]. For this project however, it might also be feasible to maintain it separately because it doesn't use cargo directly, but instead uses meson which wraps the cargo procedure. We coordinate our work in the #debian-rust irc.oftc.net channel, feel free to drop by so we can coordinate the required steps. Progress is currently blocked, mainly by what is described in a mailing list thread [1]. Once that is unlocked, we hope to be able to update many of the crates that have been stuck, among which are also the gtk-related crates. You can use the cargo-debstatus tool to take a look at the dependency tree that needs work before the program can be uploaded. I'm currently a Debian Maintainer, so I won't be able to sponsor package uploads for now, but we have members on the team who can do so. Best regards, Wolfgang. -- [0] https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo/merge_requests/22 [1] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-rust-maintainers/2020-February/009828.html
