The Rust team require all their packages be maintained in one giant git. I disagree with that approach and am far more comfortable with maintaining packages as one git per upstream project - as I do with the other 500+ packages I maintain (which includes packages I maintain in the Haskell team which has a similar approach but only by default: They are open to some packages being maintained differently). They also don't use Debbugs - but hopefully that's a thing of the past: Recently at least one team member actively responds to bugs I file (but there are still RC bugs hanging for *years* with zero response from the team). Oh, and their odd packaging style also means you may upset them if you do a source-full NMU, seemingly because they need the source tarball to fit exactly their custom setup (i.e. *not* a Github release but what is distributed at crates.io). If you decide to maintain Rust packages outside of the Rust team as well, then I would be happy to form another team if that might be interesting. Otherwise you might want to consider reusing my fork of dh-cargo which I adapted to behave more like general debhelper snippets, less hardcoding of how the Rust team does packaging. ...Or if my whining here didn't scare you, then join the Rust team! :-) Thanks for asking, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
