* Package name : stuffit-rs Version : 0.2.0 Upstream Contact: Ben Letchford <ben@letchford.cloud> * URL : https://github.com/benletchford/stuffit-rs * License : MIT and Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Rust Description : read and write StuffIt (.sit) archives This package provides a 'stuffit' CLI tool for decompressing .sit archives or create new ones using a selection of StuffIt compression algorithms. It also ships a Rust library and C ABI library for application developers. . StuffIt is a popular compression format on older Macintosh computers. I intend to maintain this package in the Debian Netatalk team: the upcoming release version of Netatalk will link with the C ABI library.
Quoting Daniel Markstedt (2026-08-08 09:15:25) Perhaps you would find interest in helping dust of and implement an old idea of mine: A Debian Pure Blend for supporting Macintosh: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMac You might also consider tracking all Macintosh-related packages as a virtual "team" - similar to how I've done for semantic web tools: https://tracker.debian.org/teams/semweb/ - Jonas
tatalk team: the Hi Jonas, Thanks for sharing the information, I was not aware of these initiatives. Having a virtual team would be valuable I think, to coordinate and keep alive a wide range of packages. In this day and age, this collection is dominated by tooling for older Mac formats and protocols, so I'm not entirely convinced meta "macos-*" packages would have a broad appeal. Hi Adrian, Hope you don't mind being looped in on this. We discussed the mac-fdisk package several months ago, and I see that y ou maintain another handful of Mac related packages. Would you be interested in being part of a coordinated effort here? Would be great to have a proper team were we to revive this idea. :) Best, Daniel
Hi Daniel, Sure, why not? FWIW, it would be great to if an upstream project for mac-fdisk could be revived as I find carrying all these patches a bit annoying. Adrian
Do you have any requirements on what this upstream should look like? I have been maintaining an improved fork of this software on my personal GitHub namespace for several years: https://github.com/rdmark/hfdisk Or to be specific, hfdisk which is itself a fork of pdisk that has also imported all mac-fdisk patches. For context, hfdisk wa s originally forked by Michael McMaster (the creator of SCSI2SD) and improved, however, he abandoned the fork almost 10 years ago now, and his self-hosted Git server is no longer online (has been down for at least 3 years at the time of writing): http://www.codesrc.com/gitweb/index.cgi?p=hfdisk.git Anyhow, if a personal GitHub project is acceptable as upstream, I can either rename my hfdisk project, or create a fresh one for mac-fdisk and add you as developer. Best, Daniel
