  Description     : desktop IM client for the Matrix protocol

 Neom is A Matrix client
 that tries to be light but feature complete.
 .
 Matrix is an open, federated communications protocol.

The project is in arly development still.  It is only vaguely usable,
and until it matures it will be used to test packaging of Rust crates
also needed by Fractal (when that project uses stable crate releases).

This project will be maintained in the Matrix team, here:
https://salsa.debian.org/matrix-team/neom

0.0~git20220427 draft 1, needs embedding 235 crates (148 missing, 5
broken, 2 incomplete, 62 outdated, 18 ahead); builds in ~25 minutes;
successfully connects to a matrix instance.

My plan now is to keep up with upstream code development, package
dependencies, and encourage the Rust team to update/upgrade existing but
unaligned crate packages.

You can help by testing this draft package (either build it yourself or
tell if you want me to provide you a binary package) and provide
feedback on how well it works in your environment.

You can also help by joining the Rust team in Debian and help unbreak
and upgrade packaged crates, and add more:

0.0~git20220504 draft 1 needs embedding 121 crates (77 missing, 1 incomplete, 17 outdated, 26 ahead); builds in ~35 minutes; basic functions (including reading E2EE messages) work

Main tasks now are to keep package up-to-date with upstream releases, and
to package more of the crates currently embedded.

Here's how you can help:

As user running Debian, you can test this draft package: Either build it
yourself from source or tell (by posting to this bugreport) if you
prefer testing the binary packages I built - then I will share those.

As developer (but no need to be official member of Debian!), you can
join the Debian Rust team and help package these missing crates:
