XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist, linux.debian.devel From: jbicha@debian.org Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, debian-gtk-gnome@lists.debian. org Control: affects -1 src:foundry Owner: jbicha@debian.org Tags: pending Package Name: foundry Version: 1.0~rc Upstream Author: Christian Hergert License: LGPL-2.1+ Programming Lang: C Package: foundry Description: Command line IDE tool Foundry is a framework that can be used to build developer tools such as GNOME Builder, Manuals, and Sysprof. Package: libfoundry-1-1 Description: Library for building IDEs Foundry is a framework that can be used to build developer tools such as GNOME Builder, Manuals, and Sysprof. Links -------- This package will be maintained by the Debian GNOME Team at https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/foundry The upstream project is at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/foundry Other Info -------------- foundry is yet another library spun off from GNOME Builder by Christian Hergert. This library also includes its own command line tool which can do most of what the API can do. For GNOME 49, foundry is only used by Manuals, a new developer documentation viewing app (ITP coming soon for it). It is expected in the future that both GNOME Builder and Sysprof will gain a dependency on Foundry. GNOME Builder in fact already has an internal "foundry" library that is an earlier version of what this new library is. Naming Considerations ------------------------------- There was a previous unrelated foundry source package in Debian but it was removed from Debian and Ubuntu a decade ago. It had a lower version number so no problem there. Arch Linux has packaged an unrelated toolkit as "foundry". It is available at https://getfoundry.sh/ or https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry There is the unrelated https://github.com/microsoft/Foundry-Local which is not DFSG-free and has an installer for Windows and macOS but not Linux. It is designed to have 'foundry local' available on $PATH. There is the unrelated Foundry VTT (or Foundry virtual Tabletop) at https://foundryvtt.com/ or https://github.com/foundryvtt My thinking is that it is best to use 'foundry' as the source package name and binary package name and to use /usr/bin/foundry for this GNOME project. A manpage isn't yet provided but it is expected it will use devhelp.1 Thanks, Jeremy B€€cha --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
