Bug#900928: RFP: fractal -- Matrix group messaging app



Control: owner -1 !

@Andrej: I took your silence to mean that you stopped working on this - 
feel free to take back this ITP if I am mistaken.

I have now put together a draft source package, tracked at 
https://salsa.debian.org/matrix-team/fractal

It compiles, also in an non-networked build environment if first 
fetching 428 Rust crates (see debian/README.source).

Build takes ~40 minutes on my local amd64 system.

The built executable segfaults, however:

> $ LANG=C fractal
> 
> (fractal:354481): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 12:02:22.755: Settings schema 'org.gnome.Fractal' does not contain a key named 'markdown-active'
> Sporings-/stoppunkts-fælde (smed kerne)

That last message oddly ignores the LANG variable - it says something 
like "Tracing/stoppoint trap (threw core)" which I guess essentially 
means a segfault.

My plan is to continue refine this package until suitable for release 
into Debian, and then maintain it in the Matrix team.

@Antoine (and others reading along): You are quite welcome to help.  If 
you want to help test, then please tell if you want me to provide 
pre-built binaries (when no longer segfaulting I expect to compile for 
amd64 and arm64 for my own use, and can share those more widely if there 
is interest).
