I've been maintain dask and anndata and saw that apache arrow was getting increasingly popular. I took the current science-team preliminary packaging 7.0.0 packaging and managed to get it to build through a combination of patches and turning off features. I even mostly managed to get pyarrow to build. (Though some tests fail due to pytest lazy-fixture being abandoned). I pushed my current work in progress to. https://salsa.debian.org/diane/arrow.git Was anyone else planning on working on it or should I push my updates to the science-team package? Diane
