Packaging of Apache Arrow - where are we?
Hello,
The Arrow library
https://github.com/apache/arrow
is about efficiently handling files with large tables.
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-github-apache-arrow-go/-/blob/debian/sid/debian/control?ref_type=heads
describes it nicely.
>From what I observed this emerged as something that folks expect to be available, just Debian does not have it, yet.
There is some initial work from several people, and it was uploaded to the archive at least once by satta
according to the changelog, and
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/arrow/-/blob/master/debian/README.Debian?ref_type=heads
provides an overview on what remains to do for an upload:
[X] Update Maintainer/Uploader in d/control
[ ] Update d/copyright
[ ] Inquire with upstream what files are under the licenses in LICENSE.txt
[ ] Re-activate CUDA/Flight/Gandiva once dependencies in Debian are ready
[ ] Optional: clean out embedded code (not too much IIR)
Don't know how you feel about it all, which is why I am asking with this email :-) ) , but I tend to think that
beyond the d/copyright and license clarification there is nothing ultimately blocking, right?
Has anything wrt the license clarification with upstream already been initiated?
Is anybody (somewhat) actively working on this package?
Best,
Steffen
