* Package name : rust-byteorder-lite Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : (no authors listed in Cargo.toml; crates.io owner: Jonathan Behrens) * URL : https://github.com/image-rs/byteorder-lite * License : Unlicense OR MIT Programming Lang: Rust Description : Library for reading/writing numbers in big-endian and little-endian A dependency-free fork/subset of the `byteorder` crate, maintained under the image-rs GitHub organization, used internally by the `image` and `image-webp` crates (already packaged in Debian) for their PNG/WebP codecs. Needed transitively as a dependency of an upcoming WebKitGTK6-based rewrite of `stremio` (wishlist bug #943703), via its use of the `image` crate for thumbnail/poster art handling. Packaging note: its dev-dependencies (quickcheck 0.9, rand 0.7) are not in Debian; a patch ports the mechanical API surface to quickcheck 1.x/rand 0.10 (Debian's versions). Most of the property-based test suite passes with this port, but a subset relies on a quickcheck 0.9 semantic (Gen::size() bounding generated-integer magnitude) that 1.x removed; that subset is marked broken, documented in the patch. The library itself has zero runtime dependencies and is unaffected. Already packaged and verified (full build + autopkgtest + lintian) against unstable with this patch; will upload once this bug is assigned.
