* Package name    : ffsend
  Version         : 0.2.61
  Upstream Author : Tim Visée <	3a4fb3964f@sinenomine.email>
* URL             : https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend
* License         : GNU GPL-3.0
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : Easily and securely share files and directories from the command line through a safe, private and encrypted link using a single simple command. Files are shared using the Send service and may be up to 1GB (2.5GB authenticated). Others are able to download these files with this tool, or through their web browser.

It is always desirable to have command-line options for any piece of
software. It comes more relevant when it provides access to such an
important feature like Firefox Send for sharing (large) files
securely. I do not know any other software packaged in Debian for this
purpose.

I have no experience maintaining packages, unfortunately I can't help in
here.

Thanks in advance, Alexandre

I'm sorry. The language in which ffsend is written is Rust, not C++ as I
wrote in the first message.

By the way the Rust team was copied in the original message.

Thanks in advance.

Best, Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,
from a first glance it looks like ffsend-api is missing as dependency. Unfortunately it's considered deprecated; I opened an issue upstream about it.

I hope upstream considers a switch and it can make it into trixie.
regards,
