Some points for potential packager to consider:
- It has an internal crate, harper-comments, that "locate the comments of a wide
variety of programming languages", using tree-sitter, more specifically, over a
dozen of tree-sitter-* crates. It also depends on another internal crate,
harper-tree-sitter. Unless we sort the tree-sitter thing out in Debian,
these can only be disabled.
- There is also a harper-wasm crate, namely for compiling to WASM, According to
its README, current uses include the Web demo and Obsidian plugin, i.e. not
really of much use yet.
- With those out of question, dependencies that remain to be packaged are:
- ariadne
- unicode-blocks
- resolver-path
- tower-lsp
- auto_impl
- macros
- Plugins for VS Code and Obsidian (in packages/) are probably irrelevant, as
these are non-free products, and usually distributed through other channels
anyway.
