Hi @stappersg

It's just a note to ourself to keep an update on trying to add Hurl to official Debian repo.

We've 0 experience in this domain and struggle a bit to know where to start.
We've send a first mail to submit@bugs.debian.org, as described in https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#:~:text=File%20an%20ITP%20(intent%20to%20package)%20bug%20using%20reportbug to make a official request to propose Hurl.
Do you think you can help us ? Or share any experience/tips to guide us ?
Thanks,

Jc

OK, that is the correct email address for reporting an "bug". Meanwhile should there be bug report number. What is it?

Do you think you can help us ?

I doing so by asking good questions.

Or share any experience/tips to guide us ?

Work in progress, currently low priority ...

Hi @stappersg, we probably need some help here...

Like @jcamiel said it's our first experience attempting to create a Debian package, so i wonder if we have forgotten something to move it forward since our bug report seems to be on hold for almost 3 months ?

Thks for your help :)

No, nothing is on hold. An request for packaging is a request for packaging.

Thks for your help :)

Expressing expectations is fine, insisting on ones own expectation doesn't help. FWIW, I only partly argee with "somebody else should do it", thing I will do is sponsoring uploads to Debian. On expressing expectations: I love to see messages like At $URL is hurl dependency foo packaged. What is, beside review time, needed to get it uploaded to Debian?
