  Description     : Configuration Management System in Bash

Bashtard is a minimalistic configuration management system written in Bash,
providing a few abstractions to deal with OS-specific mechanics such as package
management and service management. It aims to be simpler than existing
solutions such as Puppet or Ansible.

I've written this myself and would like to make it easily available and
updatable on my Debian machines, so making it a proper Debian package seems
like the best course of action.

This would be my first package, and I think it is simple enough to not need
co-maintainers at this point. I intend to set up CI on SourceHut to
automatically build new Debian packages when new versions get released.

Hi,

this is not how an ITP works. Whatever package upstream (you) build is not what
we will ship in Debian. There exist some packages where upstream is the same as
what we ship in Debian but those packages are either highly integrated into the
Debian infrastructure or maintained by Debian Developers with upload right who
know exactly what they are doing.

I don't think you are a DD so even if you don't need a co-maintainer, you will
need a DD who can sponsor your work.

You are of course absolutely free to distribute your own Debian packages but
before this can get uploaded to Debian it needs to adhere to very high quality
standards and you need to be committed to support stable releases for multiple
years.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
