Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : podcasts Version : 0.4.8 Upstream Author : Jordan Petridis <jpetri...@gnome.org> * URL : https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Podcasts * License : GPL-3.0-or-later Programming Lang: Rust Description : Podcast application for GNOME
A podcatcher application for GNOME environment written on Rust and GTK. This is a nice podcatcher tightly integrated with GNOME. I think this is the first application trying to do this in the GNOME ecosystem specifically for podcasts. Alternatives I think liferea can also handle podcasts, but it is far from specialized on it. gpodder is another GTK application written on python. Even if both are available on debian, this would be a really nice addition for Debian, especially for GNOME users. podcasts application is listed under "Eventual goals" on rust team's debcargo-conf to-do file at https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo-conf/-/blob/master/TODO.rst This application depends on many other rust crates, some of them already added to Debian by the rust team. An initial list of rust crates the application depends on that are not yet in Debian: - diesel-migrations - gstreamer-player - html2text - libhandy - mpris-player - podcasts-data To start, diesel migrations crate is now in the process of getting added, see https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo-conf/-/merge_requests/125 Best, -Marco
