    Description : Caligula Burning Tool

    Caligula is a user-friendly, lightweight TUI for imaging disks.

    ---

    Caligula is a user-friendly, lightweight TUI (Text User Interface) tool for disk imaging. Similar to dd, it provides an intuitive way to perform disk imaging operations while offering better visibility into the write speed and status of the imaging
    process.

    Compared to dd, Caligula excels in user-friendliness by providing a real-time display of progress and performance metrics, making it a more accessible and informative tool for users working with disk images.

    I plan to be the main maintainer of the package and would like to join the Debian Rust Team to collaborate with other developers on maintaining Rust-based packages.

    As I am not currently a Debian Developer, I will need a sponsor to help with the package uploads. I am committed to learning and contributing actively to the Debian project.

    Hi Dong,

    I'd also be interested in having caligula in Debian. I am a member of
    the Debian rust team, so feel free to reach out if you have any
    questions. For an introduction to Rust packaging see https://rust-team.pages.debian.net/book/

    Hi werdahias,

    Thank you for your support and for getting in touch!

    I originally intended to package caligula myself, but my initial attempt was blocked due to some unresolved dependencies. I’m planning to give it another try soon.

    If possible, I’d really appreciate the opportunity to ask you a few questions during the packaging process.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Best regards
    Dong

    Hi Dong,

    no worries :)
    Last I checked there were no big conflicts. You can keep track of the
    missing dependencies by installing cargo-debstatus and then running
    cargo debstatus against the cloned repo.

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    best,

    werdahias
