   Description     : Repository Management for APT in Python (Python 3)

RepoLib is a Python library and CLI tool-set for managing your software
system software repositories. It's currently set up to handle APT
repositories
on Debian-based linux distribuitons.

RepoLib is intended to operate on DEB822-format sources. It aims to provide
feature parity with software-properties for most commonly used functions.

URL is upstream URL. This will ultimately reside in a Salsa repository.

This Python utility actually includes useful functionality for programmatic
interaction with repository sources as well as tools to convert legacy
single-
line APT definitions into DEB822 formatted sources files. This tooling
is very
useful for migrating to full DEB822 functionality on systems, and is a very
useful library.

It does not exist currently in Debian as it is 'sourced' from Pop-OS's git
sources.

I intend to maintain it myself, but I am also open to co-maintainership with
the Python team. However, this package is pretty stable and doesn't have
frequent updates.

I will need a sponsor to get this into NEW (and will be following the
Mentors
processes).

Note that the Upstream Contact is the Copyright holder. However, this is a public open source project now on GitHub, and members of the project have already OK'd packaging this for Debian - refer to https://github.com/pop-os/repolib/issues/79 where I ask if there is any issues with me packaging this and loading it up into Debian.
