Description : Asynchronous Low Latency C++ Logging Library

Quill is a high-performance, header-only logging library for C++17 and onwards, specifically designed for low-latency applications. It provides asynchronous logging capabilities, making it suitable for real-time systems where minimal delay is critical. This package would be beneficial for developers working on performance-sensitive C++ applications.

Hi!

Is this ITP still active? I saw the RFS was closed a while ago...
I do need Quill soon as a dependency of a different package I maintain,
and I wonder if we can expect it to be available in Debian soon.

Best,
     Matthias

Thank you for reaching out to me.

I didn't manage to get a sponsor for this package so the RFS got closed.

I am still interested in bringing this package to Debian, I will be
creating new package RFS soon.


Regards,

Syed Shahrukh Hussain.

Hi,

I have created  RFS for the package.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1140720

I have added you to maintainer of https://salsa.debian.org/syed/quill

to help moving package to debian group.

There is a upstream ticket for packaging too:
https://github.com/odygrd/quill/issues/669

The upstream developer is very friendly and I have also contributed  to
the upstream in order to make this

package part of Debian.

I hope this package makes to the upload queue soon.


Kind Regards,

Syed Shahrukh Hussain.

Looks like you became DM meanwhile, that is great, congratulations!

Since you gave me access to the repository, do you want me to maintain
the package? Do you intend to place it in the shared debian/ namespace
on Salsa?  (you'd still be the maintainer, but other developers have
access to the repository then and can do QA uploads easier).

Best,
    Matthias

P.S: From a quick look at the repository, the packaging looks solid,
but I will do a proper review once you say it's ready.

Yes i was in search for a sponsor for quill for nearly  a year.

Finally i got a sponsor in July 2026.

Thank you!

My sponsors/mentors helped me a lot to this reach this level.
Yes  I gave access to the repository so it can be  moved to Debian space.
Last month  I got a sponsor for this package and now it is uploaded to
unstable.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/quill
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/quill
I next release i will update the vcs url in d/control file.

Thank you for all the support and guidance.

Kind regards,

Syed Shahrukh Hussain.

Oh, fantastic! I was on vacation back then, sorry for not being
responsive. I see Quill is already in the archive, extremely nice!
I should have looked there first, I guess :-)

Welcome to the project! Things will get a lot easier and faster once
you are DM :-)

Best,
    Matthias
