FWIW I imported a new upstream release a couple of weeks ago, which is in the Git repository - https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/ruff However, it needs a lot of work since the dependencies have changed significantly. Some aren't in Debian, some are at different versions and some are pulled directly out of upstream git repositories. When I packaged the first release, this was a significant amount of work - and 6 months on a lot of the dependencies have changed again. I think the best first step would probably be to inventarise what rust packages are missing and then maybe we can distribute the work. Cheers, Jelmer
