  Subj: Bug#1114844: ITP: foundry -- Command lin  
 XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist, linux.debian.devel

 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
