Hello,
I am proposing the addition of Home Assistant, a Python-based smart home platform, to Debian. Home Assistant requires extensive hardware integrations and thus has a significant number of Python module dependencies.
Upon review, I've identified 666 Python modules required by Home Assistant that are not yet available in Debian. As I am attending DebConf in Busan, South Korea, I have chosen this as my DebCamp project. While it's a massive undertaking and may seem ambitious, any contributions to this effort would
be greatly appreciated.
You can find the list of these dependencies here:
https://people.debian.org/~edward/ha/
I encourage anyone interested to join in helping to package these dependencies.
Thank you!
Is there no way, especially in the beginig, to patch out funcionality?
Stuff like volvo on call doesn't seem very vital to run the thing.
I'd focus on identifying the real dependencies and prioritize rest later on, when you can get the minimal thing running perhaps.

Hi Edward,
Can I add: the larger task is not the initial packaging (though that
itself is a very large task); it's the ongoing maintenance of these
666 packages. Who is going to do that work (including ensuring that
any resulting updates don't break anything higher up the dependency
chain)? Until that question has an answer, I would strongly recommend following Salvo's suggestions. Then if someone really wants feature
XYZ, that would be a good time to package the relevant module.
It might be that HomeAssistant is too big a task for Debian to take on
unless there's a small group of interested maintainers able to do it;
perhaps there could be a HomeAssistant Team?
