#1175062 — Bug#1056068: RFH: resvg -- SVG rendering library (command-line utility)

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: resvg@packages.debian.org, debian-devel@lists.debian.org, Rust Maintainers <pkg-rust-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Control: affects -1 + src:resvg

Hi all,

resvg is a command-line SVG renderer which I introduced to Debian back
in 2019. Unfortunately, very soon after the initial upload the upstream
has rewritten substantial parts of resvg, which resulted in it requiring
build dependencies that were missing from Debian at that point. I tried
to update resvg and upload the missing dependencies, but ultimately
never completed that work, and resvg was removed from bookworm.

Unfortunately, I cannot invest any more time into resvg at the moment,
so I have to officially request assistance with maintaining the resvg package.

To the Debian Rust team: if you can, please adopt this package.

Thank you.

The package description is:
 resvg is a command-line utility to render SVG files based on a static
 SVG Full 1.1 subset. It is a fast, small, portable, multiple
 backend SVG library designed for edge-cases.
 .
 resvg supports Cairo and Qt backends.

Upstream project consist of multiple crates released in sync - which is
a pattern that is only inefficiently handled by the Rust team (by
needlessly packaging each individual crate as a separate Debian source
package).

Unless you particularly are asking the Rust team for help here, then I
can offer to help: I have experience with handling this type of Rust
source code structure, and would be happy for this opportunity to
collaborate more closely with you, Andrej.


Kind regards,

- Jonas

Yes, I’m aware of that, that’s why I packaged it separately from the 
debcargo-conf-managed packages. Nevertheless, the dependencies can be 
managed using debcargo-conf workflow (and that’s what I did when I still 
had energy to spend on this package).

In any case, I’ll be happy with any help that can be had with this 
package, whether it’s updating/packaging build dependencies as separate 
packages or by following the debcargo-conf workflow, and from anyone — 
you, Jonas, included :)

Thanks!
