thanks
I need this package for sublime-music and since it's being orphaned, I'm planning to adopt it.
If someone else wants to maintain this package though, I won't fight you for it :)
Cheers (and thanks to morph for the work so far),
Hi Louis-Philippe,
Both Jelmer and I are also willing to take it on. I wrote to the
Python list in response to Jelmer (before I saw your ITA):
I've just taken a look at python-levenshtein, as I remember the name
now: it might make more sense for me to take it as it depends on
rapidfuzz and rapidfuzz-cpp, which I've just packaged and are sitting
in NEW. But if you want to take it, please feel free to do so! (Once
rapidfuzz makes it into unstable, a lot of debian/rules could probably
also be simplified.)
So happy whoever wants to take it; we just won't be able to do much
until rapidfuzz, rapidfuzz-cpp and taskflow make it to unstable.
I do suggest that we keep it within the DPT, though.
Best wishes,
Julian
