Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "hwatch". * Package name : hwatch Version : 0.4.2-3 Upstream contact : blacknon <blacknon@orebibou.com> * URL : https://github.com/blacknon/hwatch * License : MIT * Vcs : https://github.com/blacknon/hwatch.git Section : utils The source builds the following binary package: hwatch - modern alternative to the watch command with history and diff views hwatch is already in Debian. This upload replaces the unmaintained rust-ansi-term build dependency with rust-nu-ansi-term. The current version is scheduled for autoremoval from testing on 2026-09-10 because it build-depends on rust-ansi-term, which has the RC bug #1142926. To access further information about this package, please visit: https://mentors.debian.net/package/hwatch/ Alternatively, the package can be downloaded with: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hwatch/hwatch_0.4.2-3.dsc Changes since the last upload: * Replace the unmaintained rust-ansi-term build dependency with rust-nu-ansi-term. Regards, blacknon
Thanks for the update. I would have expected a new release instead of patching. Are you planning on one?
Hi Bastian. Yes, the code for the next version already exists, and it has been refactored to avoid using `rust-ansi-term` itself. However, I am currently in the process of applying to add it to the Fedora package manager; since this would result in a version mismatch, I have temporarily halted the release.
