Hi Alberto,
Since the latest version in Debian, upstream have started using Rust
as part of the Anki package. They are also now building Anki using
their own Rust program (called maturin). This is making packaging the
newer releases for Debian significantly challenging, as it require
liaising with the Rust team and learning a whole new packaging
environment. Rust has lots of little modules ("crates"), each of
which is packaged separately, and the version dependencies are pretty
horrendous. I spent a day a couple of weeks ago trying to figure it
all out, and learnt lots. But it's probably most of a week's work to
get the whole thing to work, and I haven't yet had the time to do
this.
If you're able to help, it would be hugely appreciated!
Best wishes,
Julian

Maybe you forgot to git push?

No it isn't: Update watch file to use github release tags Julian Gilbey authored 3 months ago Could it be you checked salsa when it was suffering from a storage failure? Best wishes, Julian

Before that last update is 8 months ago Never mind, I thought there was already something in progress for the rust thing and that you had just not pushed it :)

Add to that the fact that the whole Anki source package structure has been changed, so it is hard to see what the detailed changes are - it's a lot of work. And I haven't committed anything yet, as I'm nowhere close to having anything to commit :( (Too much other stuff going on in real life.) In the meantime, if you want to use the most up-to-date version of Anki, there is a downloadable compiled package on the Anki website. (I could package 2.1.16, but it does not seem worth the effort at this point.) Best wishes, Julian
