Bug#851639: ITP: alacritty -- A cross-platform, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator

[Rob Browning]

While I don't know much about alacritty, I just happended to notice that
the underlying issue might have been resolved a couple of days ago:

Bug#851639: ITP: alacritty -- A cross-platform, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator

Hi Johan,

Debian Rust team uses debcargo to package rust crates. As far as I know, it 
needs the crates to be on crates.io. See the README.md on 
https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo/

Bug#851639: ITP: alacritty -- A cross-platform, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator

Hi Félix.

I’m not really into Rust nor Rust packaging in Debian, could you elaborate a 
bit more on why Debian requires Alacritty to be hosted on crates.io? According 
to the discussion in alacritty#357 [1], upstream can’t or won't publish to 
crates.io.

It seems that there hasn't been any progress on this RFP/ITP since 2017, is 
there any way one can help (I couldn't find any repo on salsa)?

It may be interesting to wait until
https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/357 is fixed. There was some progress
recently.

Hello Eric!

Did you get a chance to work on this ITP? Are there missing dependencies?
