    Description     : read and write StuffIt (.sit) archives

This package provides a 'stuffit' CLI tool for decompressing .sit
archives or create new ones using a selection of StuffIt compression
algorithms. It also ships a Rust library and C ABI library for
application developers.
.
StuffIt is a popular compression format on older Macintosh computers.

I intend to maintain this package in the Debian Ne
tatalk team: the
upcoming release version of Netatalk will link with the C ABI library.

Perhaps you would find interest in helping dust of and implement an old
idea of mine: A Debian Pure Blend for supporting Macintosh:

You might also consider tracking all Macintosh-related packages as a
virtual "team" - similar to how I've done for semantic web tools:
https://tracker.debian.org/teams/semweb/

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for sharing the information, I was not aware of these initiatives. Having a virtual team would be valuable I think, to coordinate and keep alive a wide range of packages.

In this day and age, this collection is dominated by tooling for older Mac formats and protocols, so I'm not entirely convinced meta "macos-*" packages would have a broad appeal.

Hi Adrian,

Hope you don't mind being looped in on this. We discussed the mac-fdisk package several months ago, and I see that y ou maintain another handful of Mac related packages. Would you be interested in being part of a coordinated effort here?

Would be great to have a proper team were we to revive this idea. :)

Best,

Daniel
