I've been maintain dask and anndata and saw that apache arrow was
getting increasingly popular.
I took the current science-team preliminary packaging 7.0.0 packaging
and managed to get it to build through a combination of patches and
turning off features.
I even mostly managed to get pyarrow to build. (Though some tests fail
due to pytest lazy-fixture being abandoned).
I pushed my current work in progress to.
https://salsa.debian.org/diane/arrow.git
Was anyone else planning on working on it or should I push my updates
to the science-team package?
