Thanks for the offer. :) I've cloned the osquery repo and it appears to use the C++ Linenoise NG fork: https://github.com/arangodb/linenoise-ng not the C original: https://github.com/antirez/linenoise which is what I started packaging. The reason that I stopped work on it was that linenoise is intended to be used by adding the sources to the code-base of the application that wants the functionality. I created a PR to add support for building it as a shared library: https://github.com/antirez/linenoise/pull/174 and there has been no response (mind you, there are a lot of open PR's going back years), so I wasn't sure whether it was worth adding to Debian. I've had a quick look at the linenoise-ng repo and it appears to be API-compatible with the original and has a [c]make file, so it may be a better candidate for packaging -- particularly now that you have provided a use-case for it. I'll take a closer look and see how much of my work can be salvaged. J.
