Will Maidsafe be in Debian repositories?

There has been no new draft release of the Debian package safe-network for more than a week now. That’s not (strongly, at least) related to my financial situation, but instead tied to dependency problems deeper in the dependency chain of Rust crate packaging in Debian - most notably right now is a seemingly sloppy release of rust-bytecount rendering that package impossible to install, and consequently all reverse dependencies of that crate package impossible to install as well: https://bugs.debian.org/1012338

For those not directly tracking the Debian bugreport I can share here that packaging is again succesful and progressing: Now down to embedding 159 crates.

I also begun fumbling with actually running the sn_node daemon and spotted a few bgs in the setup of the account (yes, the Debian package not only provides the code but integrates with systemd).

Slooow progress, but at least it is moving in the right direction :slight_smile:

[update…]

This topic now moved here.

Again I am blocked from doing regular posts here, because I am not really opposed so this turns into a monologue which apparently is actively blocked by this forum system. I have therefore moved to a new topic where I can do status updates as part of the initial post.
