  Description     : cross-platform engine for running WebAssembly programs

 rust-wasmtime is the Rust embedding API for the Wasmtime project:
 a cross-platform engine for running WebAssembly programs.

This is a pseudo-ITP: The source package is already maintained for the
subset covering core Cranelift crates, since they are part of same
monorepo. The intent tracked here is extending that source package to
provide binary packages librust-wasmtime* which involves additional
dependencies unneeded for Cranelift.

Please shout if there is need for wasmtime, and especially if there is
interest in helping get the needed dependencies packaged.

I'm not sure what you mean by that -- what is already maintained?

Also, are you planning to package wasmtime, as in the CLI, itself? I
believe this exists on the same upstream/source tree as the language
bindings that you're proposing here?

I don't have the bandwidth to help packaging wasmtime. However, I do
maintain another popular WebAssembly runtime, WasmEdge, and last year I
contributed a few changes to the Debian LLVM packages
(src:llvm-project-14 and friends) with regards to WebAssembly support,
and so you could say I'm interested with helping in bringing more parts
of the WebAssembly ecosystem in Debian :) I'm also interested in
opportunities to help each other, and in the relevant packages working
well with each other and/or providing a unified experience. Let me know
if you can think of any such ways.

On that note, you may be interested in (and/or subscribing to) #1033322.

Hi Faidon,

Quoting Faidon Liambotis (2023-07-19 15:01:59)
packaging effort tracked as ITP bug#1041434 (and now in NEW queue).

I mean both the Rust crates and the command-line tool.

You are right, both are part of same monorepo.

I don't have a special interest in WebAssembly (yet) - my packaging
efforts here is targeted packaging of swt (bug#991761).  That work also
involves packaging (again only a subset of crates initially for) wasmer.

Thanks. I've subscribed to that now :-)

Ah! It makes sense now, thanks :)

Awesome!

Wasmer too? That's even better :)

Good luck!

Faidon

Hi,

I just filed #1087400 regarding updating the package and
providing wasmtime crate.
