* Package name : releng-tool Version : 1.4.0 Upstream Contact: James Knight <g...@jdknight.me> * URL : https://releng.io/ * License : BSD-2-Clause Programming Lang: Python Description : Tool to tailor the building of packages releng-tool aims to provide a way for developers to tailor the building of multiple software components to help prepare packages for desired runtime environments (e.g. cross-platform portable packages, embedded targets, etc.). When building a package, assets may be located in multiple locations and may require various methods to extract, build and more. releng-tool allows developers to define a set of packages, specifying where resources should be fetched from, how packages should be extracted and the processes for patching, configuring, building and installing each package for a target sysroot. It would be nice to have this tool available in Debian for an easy install with shell completion support. I use the tool myself to help build software packages for embedded Linux images generated by Buildroot. I plan to maintain this package. Long time Debian user, first time packager; so still trying to familiarize myself with the process. From my understanding, this package may be best suited under DPT unless someone informs me otherwise. Will need a sponsor, if anyone is willing.
