For a while, I have been working on a package for Shed Skin (shedskin) which is a compiler for a dialect of Python. I previously maintained a package for this software in the Python 2 era, and since it has been made compatible with Python 3, I feel that it would be beneficial to Debian users to have convenient access to it once again. To this end, I filed an "intent to package" report a while back: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1051352 The principal developer of Shed Skin is very encouraging of packaging efforts and has been responsive to feedback about issues that might otherwise incur distribution-level patches. Personally, I think that the software deserves more exposure, especially when considering some of the transformative effects it has on some kinds of Python code: http://shed-skin.blogspot.com/2024/01/fast-doom-wad-renderer-in-999-lines-of.html I have sought to follow advice provided in the team policy, making a Salsa project available here: https://salsa.debian.org/pboddie/shedskin Building on experience with a previous repository (noted in the ITP report), I have hopefully managed to follow the branching and pristine-tar guidelines, also introducing test running using Salsa CI. I have read and accept the policy published here: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/ policy.rst My Salsa login is pboddie. Thanks in advance for any guidance that might be offered! Paul
