It seems like the mail from reportbug didn't get sent to CC's,
so i'm manually resending/forwarding it.

* Package name : halide
Version : 12.0.1
Upstream Author : https://github.com/halide/Halide
* URL : https://halide-lang.org/
* License : MIT/X
Programming Lang: C++
Description : a language for fast, portable computation on
images and tensors

Halide is a programming language designed to make it easier to write high-performance image and array processing code on modern machines.
Halide currently targets:
* CPU architectures: X86, ARM, MIPS, Hexagon, PowerPC, RISC-V
* Operating systems: Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Qualcomm QuRT
* GPU Compute APIs: CUDA, OpenCL, OpenGL Compute Shaders, Apple Metal, Microsoft Direct X 12
Rather than being a standalone programming language, Halide is embedded in C++. This means you write C++ code that builds an in-memory representation
of a Halide pipeline using Halide's C++ API. You can then compile
this representation to an object file,
or JIT-compile it and run it in the same process.

I have performed initial debianization in https://salsa.debian.org/LebedevRI-guest/halide/-/tree/debian/v12.0.1
the produced DEB's are functional, as far as i can tell.

While it is not a preparatory dependency for any further package,
it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. I wanted to play around with
halide as far back as 2019, but back then they had a very rudimentary
CMake support, and wasn't packaged anywhere. They happily improved
their CMake support, so the only problem now is that it's not packaged :)

Ideally i would like the package to be accepted into pkg-llvm team.
I don't expect it to require too much effort to maintain.

While i have been using debian for quite some time now,
i'm not a debian developer, and i'm not as deeply familiar with the packaging side of things. Naturally, i don't have any upload rights.
