Bug#951166: ITP: shortwave -- Find and listen to internet radio stations

[Willem van den Akker <wvdakker@wilsoft.nl>]

Hello David,

I am also not a DD or DM.

I agree, first all cargo packages/modules have to go into Debian. Perhaps we can

ask some Rust devs how to do that. I will ask around.

Yes building it with network connection is a no-go and violation of the Debian guidelines.

I have shortwave successful runing in Testing.

I will keep in touch.

Hello Willem,

you have more advanced debian/ so I'd start from your version.

Sadly, I'm not official Debian developer, so I cannot do that, we have 

to find someone who will.

There will be likely many rust libs which needs to be packaged, TBH I 

haven't progressed much on it.

I think we cannot upload even to experimental, when the package 

download stuff while build from internet.

I'll test your build & check lintian --pedantic how it goes, but I 

guess until we get everything it builds offline, it'll be issue.

Thank you

David

Best regards

Dobry den David,

I also have been working on shortwave and have a working package

which you can find here:  

https://salsa.debian.org/wvdakker/shortwave

Is it possible to create a team respository so we can work as a team

on the package? There is quite a bit Rust work/libraries on which we

have to work. To much for one person.

Another probleem is the networkaccess during the build. USENETWORK 

must

be used in the pbuilderrc because a lot of cargo must be downloaded.

However the policy prevents that any the package must be build in a

chroot (4.9).

Can you as maintainer create a team library? Then we upload the 

version

to experimental as an starting point.

Na shledanou
