Stappers: git repo at Salsa sounds good. I'd like to create it/set it up myself if that's okay/possible. Plan would be to have a tagged upstream branch, with packaging living in master.

OK

Yes, and I could create a git repository at Salsa.
( https://salsa.debian.org )
So, that means there are (at least) two paths to a git repository
where the debian tarball for hyx can live.
Both paths are fine with me.
@Russell I make it your call.
Please respond with an option from something along:
* Stappers: Yes, a git repo at Salsa is fine. Create one
* There is now ${GIT_REPO_URL}
* I prefer the old days approach when the debian directory
was "maintainer pet thing". (AFAIK this is still valid)
* I choose ..
> The original project has no version control.
That is fine. Upstream provides tarballs.
Thing that could be improved is that https://yx7.cc/code/hyx/
would has an index. Something that allows to see that a new
upstream version is available. (It is what debian utility `uscan`
does.)

Is there a VCS, Version Control System, that has hyx debian packaging? (Please recieve that yes-no-question as a conversation starter) Groeten Geert Stappers -- Silence is hard to parse

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Russell Hernandez Ruiz X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org * Package name: hyx Version : 2021.06.09 Upstream Author : Lorenz Panny * URL : https://yx7.cc/code/ * License : MIT/Expat Programming Lang: C Description : minimalistic but powerful vim-like hex editor A minimalistic (< 2300 lines of C) vim-like hex editor. It can display ASCII with colors, insert/replace/delete, copy/paste, undo/redo, and search. Very small, low latency, familiar interface, looks nice. The package is already made. I'm new to packaging so I'll need a sponsor. I'd like for it to be included in bullseye. It only depends on libc (according to dpkg, >= 2.17). It could even go into buster and stretch I think, but I don't know if that's possible/desirable.
