 .
 Initial version (Closes: #1068200)

Summary:
Upstream blog post https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4660

"GNOME Online Accounts, aka “GOA”, is a project which allows users to
connect to their data in the cloud. This project was only designed for
GNOME though so it doesn’t provide any front-end. It only provides
libraries (namely libgoa and libgoa-backend).

Other than GNOME, many desktop environments integrated a front-end to
these libraries in their control center: Cinnamon, Budgie, Unity, etc.

This project is important because it doesn’t just connect a desktop to
the cloud, it’s used by many applications and libraries. Among other
things you might use it to connect the Calendar application, the
Thunderbird email program or the file browser to your online data.

With GNOME 46, libgoa/libgoa-backend 3.50 moved to GTK4. It can no
longer be used by GTK3 applications.

To solve this problem a new XApp called GNOME Online Account GTK was
created. As any XApp its goal is to work for everybody, in any desktop
environment and in any Linux distribution.

Hi,

  I've been looking at this via Ubuntu 24.04 since it has the same FTBFS.

I've PRd a fix upstream for this and have enclosed a debdiff for the

Bug#1059993: gnome-session: Potential mismatch between package copyright file and upstream source files

[David Mohammed]

Source: gnome-session
Version: 45.0-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: fossfree...@ubuntu.com

Dear Maintainer,

I have been looking at the package d/copyright file and comparing against the
upstream sources.

If you grep for "Lesser" in the upstream sources
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/search?search=Lesser_source=navbar_id=1659_id=8_code=true_ref=main)
a dozen or so files mention the warranty basis of the source is found within
the LGPL license.

In Debians salsa - d/copyright just reflects the GPLv2+ wording.

Should the package copyright specifically list each file that has this
differing Lesser + GPLv2+ copyright wording?

Bug#1058914: RFS: budgie-session/0.9-1 [ITP] -- Budgie Session Manager

[David Mohammed]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-session":

 * Package name : budgie-session
   Version  : 0.9-1
   Upstream contact : Budgie Developers 
 * URL  : https://github.com/buddiesofbudgie/budgie-session

https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-session/budgie-session_0.9-1.dsc

More Information
budgie-session is based upon the v44 version of gnome-session package in Debian.
It inherits Debian's existing packaging.  The existing d/copyright has
been completely reworked since the existing gnome-session package is
based on an old debian template (I think) and the copyright owners was
not complete.  The new gnome-session for GNOME 46 due in the new year
(2024) includes changes that are incompatible with the current
iteration of budgie-desktop.  The effort to expend to make
budgie-desktop compatible with it is (from an upstream POV) to be
diverted with upcoming budgie-desktop changes.

budgie-session is part of budgie-desktop's restructuring from its
GNOME based roots to a more independent project structure.  In the
future budgie-session will evolve to support the new Wayland only
version of budgie-desktop.

Assuming this package is acceptable to Debian I (as Debian Maintainer)
will upload a revised budgie-desktop package that utilises
budgie-session to enable full end-user testing.

This sbuilds against unstable and is lintian free.

Bug#1040005: ITP:magpie - window manager for the budgie desktop

[David Mohammed]

Hi Simon

Yes, ftp master had concerns over the copyright file in the package.

I have revised this a while back and uploaded to mentors.

Unfortunately my current magpie mentor hasn't had time to rereview the
copyright changes and thus re-sponsor the package.

I am ever hopeful with finding some help here.

Thanks

Background
I am the project lead of Ubuntu Budgie - an official flavour of
Ubuntu.  I maintain the budgie related packages in both Debian and
Ubuntu.

As part of Ubuntu Budgie our key customisation package is called
budgie-desktop-environment which is similarly named as other desktop
customisation packages.

This RFS brings to Debian the key-parts of Ubuntu Budgie to provide a
stylish one-shot customisation package; currently Debian budgie users
have to customise the vanilla upstream budgie-desktop package.

In keeping with Debian custom, this provides a minimal package
concentrating on the look and feel of budgie end-users expect
out-of-the-box.

magpie is based upon the Debian Bookworm version of mutter - it is
tailored for budgie-desktop.

It inherits Debians packaging - primarily its d/copyright.  Other d/*
files have been tailored for magpie.  The binaries reflect its mutter
based history with revised package descriptions.

magpie is part of budgie-desktop's restructuring from its GNOME based
roots to a more independent project structure.  In the future magpie
will evolve into a Wayland only window manager & compositor.  Its
current iteration that forms this RFS is strictly X11.

[David Mohammed]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-desktop":

Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:

  dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop_10.7-1.dsc

Background:
I am the Debian Maintainer for this package and have been since its
inception in 2016.

Upstream has just released v10.7 today.  In preparation for this I
have kept Debian up-to-date with
git master builds to allow further testing by Debian end-users to
allow for a much wider testing scope thus assuring for a stable
release.  This was done primarily due to the upcoming freeze dates.

The last update to debian was 4 weeks ago.  This release primarily
captures the last 4 weeks of upstream work mainly focussed on
providing an API for developers to add capability together with some
GUI refinements & polish.  No new end-user functionality was added.

The API changes have resulted in two additional binary packages hence
my request for sponsorship - to review the final release package and
sponsor before uploading to ftp-masters.

Changes since the last upload:

 budgie-desktop (10.7-1) experimental; urgency=medium

Bug#1022701: plank: Plank does not reset to the edge of the screen when the resolution changes

[David mohammed]

Package: plank
Version: 0.11.89-4+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: davidmoham...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

Whenever the resolution increases - for example changing in virtualbox from 
800x600 to something higher, or moving from a laptop screen to a 4K screen when 
the laptop lid is closed on a dock, plank does not reset itself back to the 
edge of the screen.  Instead, plank stays floating where the original edge used 
to be.

This is a painpoint because a user has to logout and login again - or reach for 
a terminal to kill plank and run it from the terminal again.

During investigation I found that it was due to a Debian specific plank patch

0001_changed-plank-positioning-according-to-workarea.patch

By rebuilding plank without that patch, plank works correctly when the 
resolution changes

So to my issue - why does Debian include this patch? It hasn't been accepted 
upstream but possibly because plank development seems to have gone very quiet.

Could Debian drop this patch?

Alternatively - I am very happy to rework this specific patch for Debian if the 
issue reported is GNOME Shell / Budgie-Desktop specific

(i.e. I am using budgie-desktop on Debian bookworm)

I am thinking possibly something like this bit of pseudo code (obviously 
converted to Vala)

if (the desktop environment is "GNOME Based") then
  run the original code
else
  run the new patch code
endif

Additional Information:
This is a preparatory package upload to experimental:
1. the next version of budgie-desktop is due soon after the GNOME 43
release.  This version of budgie-desktop introduces a new budgie
specific library and as such needs to be acceptable via the NEW queue.
This may introduce a delay the GNOME 43 transition.
2. The version is a preparatory package that will be updated as and
when GNOME 43 components are released into experimental.  This package
(or an updated future upload) will need to be compatible with GNOME 43
components.

Taken together, this upload will aid in the GNOME 43 transition.

Hi Bill,

If I make budgie-desktop recommend budgie-control-center rather than a

Bug#1006472: nemo packaging includes the wrong tex recommendation

[David Mohammed]

Package: nemo
Version: 5.2.4-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: fossfree...@ubuntu.com

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Examining the menu shows an unexpected texdoctk application
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
installed nemo with its recommendations
   * What was the outcome of this action?
See above
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
No texdoctk in my menu.

In the upstream packaging the tex recommendation for nemo is untex.
It does seem overkill for Debian nemo to install an app most people I would 
dare to suggest wouldn't have a clue what it is all about and wonder why it is 
installed.

Please can the nemo package for Debian replace the texlive-binaries 
recommendation with untex which is the upstream recommendation

Bug#1005782: RFS: budgie-control-center/0.4-1 [ITP] -- utilities to configure the Budgie desktop

[David Mohammed]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-control-center":

 * Package name: budgie-control-center
   Version : 0.4-1
   Upstream Author : Budgie Desktop Developers 
 * URL : https://github.com/buddiesofbudgie/budgie-control-center
 * License : GPL-3+, GPL-2+ and LGPL-2.1+ and LGPL-2+ and Expat
 * Vcs : https://github.com/ubuntubudgie/budgie-control-center
   Section : misc

It builds those binary packages:

  budgie-control-center - utilities to configure the Budgie desktop
  budgie-control-center-dev - Development package for Budgie Settings
  budgie-control-center-data - configuration applets for Budgie - data files

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-control-center/

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-control-center/budgie-control-center_0.4-1.dsc

Background:
I am the DM for the budgie desktop and related packages  in Debian and
part of the upstream development team.

As part of the next version of budgie-desktop we have replaced our
dependency of gnome-control-center with our own budgie-control-center.

This package is focused on budgie whereas the current
gnome-control-center is focussed on gnome-shell.

This package is a fork of gnome-control-center at v41.  The Debian
package itself is derived from Debian's gnome-control-center.

The copyright file & its authors has been derived from the current
gnome-control-center package with the addition of our own authorship
plus the changes described next.

This package was previously sponsored but was rejected by ftp-master
with the request to add
the GPL-3+ files to debian/copyright.  This has now been done.

I've also taken the opportunity to spot check some of the existing
GPL2+ authors and update the date ranges as appropriate.

In addition have taken the opportunity to resolve some of the information and
pedantic issues found in the current gnome-control-center package.

In terms  of testing we have ensured that budgie-control-center can
coexist with gnome-control-center i.e. this allows users to use both
gnome-shell and budgie-desktop on the same installed machine.

I have tested this package on the current debian testing image +
debian unstable repos.
By installing the two built packages,  budgie-desktop (which is a
necessary dependency) with budgie-control-center was installed.
Budgie Control Center was confirmed to be working as expected.

I would like to continue providing the best experience of
budgie-desktop for Debian and this package is part of this continued
commitment.  Please can you consider sponsoring this package -
obviously in the future I would like to ensure that I can continue
providing timely uploads through supplementing my current DM package
rights with this new package.

Changes for the initial release:

 budgie-control-center (0.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Initial Release (Closes: #1003845)

Bug#1005755: debian/copyright missing GPL-3+ copyright statements

[David Mohammed]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:41.2-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

  gnome-control-center has several files that are stated as GPL-3+ in
their source headers

for example -

panels/applications/search.h
panels/applications/cc-applications-panel.h
panels/network/cc-qr-code.h

In the package, debian/copyright GPL-3+ isn't explicitly stated for these files.

The reason for raising this is that budgie-desktop has forked
gnome-control-center and we have used much of the packaging from
G-C-C.

ftp-master (Thorsten Alteholz) has rejected this package with the reason

"please mention the files licensed under GPL-3+ in your debian/copyright."

I've also stated "serious" since according to this bug-report this is
a Debian policy violation

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1005011

thanks

David

Bug#1003850: closed by Adam Borowski (Re: Bug#1003850: RFS: budgie-control-center/0.2-1 [ITP] -- utilities to configure the Budgie desktop)

[David Mohammed]

Thanks Adam - much appreciated

I'll add a dependency on "budgie-desktop" in the very next upload to
ensure that budgie itself is installed if someone tries to install
this in isolation.

Bug#1003850: RFS: budgie-control-center/0.2-1 [ITP] -- utilities to configure the Budgie desktop

[David Mohammed]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-control-center":

 * Package name: budgie-control-center
   Version : 0.2-1
   Upstream Author : Budgie Desktop Developers 
 * URL : https://github.com/buddiesofbudgie/budgie-control-center
 * License : GPL-2+ and LGPL-2.1+ and LGPL-2+ and Expat
 * Vcs : https://github.com/ubuntubudgie/budgie-control-center
   Section : misc

It builds those binary packages:

  budgie-control-center - utilities to configure the Budgie desktop
  budgie-control-center-dev - Development package for Budgie Settings
  budgie-control-center-data - configuration applets for Budgie - data files

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-control-center/

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-control-center/budgie-control-center_0.2-1.dsc

Background:
I am the DM for the budgie desktop and related packages  in Debian and
part of the upstream development team.

As part of the next version of budgie-desktop we have replaced our
dependency of gnome-control-center with our own budgie-control-center.

This package is focused on budgie whereas the current
gnome-control-center is focussed on gnome-shell.

This package is a fork of gnome-control-center at v41.  The Debian
package itself is derived from Debian's gnome-control-center.

The copyright file & its authors is the same as the current
gnome-control-center package with the addition of our own authorship.

I have taken the opportunity to resolve some of the information and
pedantic issues founds in the current gnome-control-center package.

In terms  of testing we have ensured that budgie-control-center can
coexist with gnome-control-center i.e. this allows users to use both
gnome-shell and budgie-desktop on the same installed machine.

I would like to continue providing the best experience of
budgie-desktop for Debian and this package is part of this continued
commitment.  Please can you consider sponsoring this package -
obviously in the future I would like to ensure that I can continue
providing timely uploads through supplementing my current DM package
rights with this new package.

Changes for the initial release:

 budgie-control-center (0.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Initial Release (Closes: #1003845)

Regards,

Bug#1003845: ITP: budgie-control-center -- utilities to configure the Budgie desktop

[David Mohammed]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Owner: David Mohammed 

Package name : budgie-control-center
Version : 0.2
Upstream Author : Budgie Desktop Developers
URL : https://github.com/buddiesofbudgie/budgie-control-center
License : GPL-2+ and LGPL-2.1+ and LGPL-2+ and Expat
Programming Lang: C
Description : Utilities to configure the Budgie desktop.
 This package contains configuration applets for the Budgie desktop,
 allowing to set accessibility configuration, desktop fonts, keyboard
 and mouse properties, sound setup, desktop background, user
 interface properties, screen resolution, and other Budgie parameters.
 .
 This is a fork of gnome-control-center at v41 with gnome-shell
 specifics removed together with configuration specific to the
 budgie-desktop.

Bug#999609: budgie-desktop: ALt+Shift_L causes budgie-wm SEGV

[David Mohammed]

as far as I can see looking at the code, budgie only supports ibus
directly - as far as the upstream applet is concerned.

I agree budgie shouldn't crash - I've reproduced the crash and it is
crashing at this point in the code.

As to why - not sure.

Hi Simon,

Currently budgie-desktop for mutter-9 will not build with 40.4 that is in sid

TIA

Simon,
I can do it ... but it will have to wait until the weekend at a
minimum since I am preparing for Ubuntu 21.10 release this week.  Hope
thats ok.

Bug#991091: unblock: budgie-desktop/10.5.2-4

[David Mohammed]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package budgie-desktop

[ Reason ]
The version in testing produces a GIR package that does not have any
dependencies
defined.  This resolves the classified Serious issue #991079

[ Impact ]
End users will need to understand and install extra budgie packages manually
This fix adds --with gir to debian/rules to ensure $(gir:depends) is updated
correctly with relevant build dependencies

[ Tests ]
There are no automated tests.  The package gir1.2-budgie-1.0 should install
the correct dependencies listed below.

This has been verified via sbuild on unstable and examining the built
package via dpkg-deb -I

The Depends line was previously missing.
In the sbuild package Depends now reads:

Depends: gir1.2-glib-2.0, gir1.2-gtk-3.0 (>= 3.24.0), gir1.2-peas-1.0,
libbudgie-plugin0 (>= 10.5.2)

This gir package installs correctly without errors.

[ Risks ]
Low-risk dependency change.  $(gir:depends) only exists in the control file
against the gir package.

[ Checklist ]
  [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in testing

unblock budgie-desktop/10.5.2-4

Bug#991079: gir1.2-budgie-1.0 has empty Depends

Great, thanks - understand now.  Cheers.

Bug#990678: budgie-desktop: Software windows don't display correctly, move badly or stay on the screen after being shut

[David Mohammed]

Basically budgie uses Mutter, the GNOME window manager. So it will be
updates to mutter that you will see resolution of issues like this.

The other thing you could try is look at budgie desktop settings and turn
off window animations.

Bug#990678: budgie-desktop: Software windows don't display correctly, move badly or stay on the screen after being shut

[David Mohammed]

The MPV observation sounds like an app specific issue.

We'll keep this issue open for observation to see if other apps show
similar symptoms.

Bug#990678: budgie-desktop: Software windows don't display correctly, move badly or stay on the screen after being shut

[David Mohammed]

You mentioned you contacted the upstream budgie maintainers.

What is the github issue you are referring to?

In my testing of bullseye budgie is perfectly stable. No issues here.

So it is very likely to be graphic driver issues specific to your setup.

Bug#989642: budgie-desktop-view: Right-clicking on the wallpaper canvas: missing items

[David Mohammed]

Remember to tick the enable desktop icons option in budgie desktop settings.

The number of options available for the desktop icons implementation
is limited as per upstream's README
https://github.com/getsolus/budgie-desktop-view.

If you want a fully featured desktop icons interface then
desktop-folder or nemo-desktop are also supported options - you enable
those through a org.solus-project dconf option - remember to uninstall
budgie-desktop-view.

Bug#987794: RFS: budgie-screensaver/4.0-1 [ITP] -- Screensaver and screen lock for the Budgie Desktop

[David Mohammed]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-screensaver":

 * Package name: budgie-screensaver
   Version : 4.0-1
   Upstream Author : Josh Strobl 
 * URL : https://gibhub.com/getsolus/budgie-screensaver
 * License : GPL-2+, GPL-2, MIT~oldstyle
 * Vcs :
https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-screensaver/tree/debian
   Section : misc

It builds those binary packages:

  budgie-screensaver - Screensaver and screen lock for the Budgie Desktop

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-screensaver/

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-screensaver/budgie-screensaver_4.0-1.dsc

Notes:
I am the Debian Maintainer of budgie-desktop & budgie-extras (plus
several other packages).  These packages are currently in Testing & Stable.

Recently the Solus Project who are the upstream of budgie-desktop
released v10.5.3 of budgie-desktop.  This now forces a new
dependency for their project called budgie-screensaver which provides
a lock-screen support for the budgie-desktop.  Upstream has marked
this as
"stable"

Previously budgie-desktop used gnome-screensaver.  This project is no
longer maintained.  Key to this new release is support for GNOME 40 changes that
prevents Budgie and GNOME-Shell co-existing.  This is the key reason
upstream state for
using their fork of gnome-screensaver.

Implementation will be three fold:
1. upload of this package if acceptable to Debian Experimental and
2. once uploaded, upload budgie-desktop v10.5.3 to Experimental that
add budgie-screensaver
as a dependency.   I will handle this latter implementation myself
via my current maintainer rights.
3. Reupload budgie-desktop once GNOME 40 packages are uploaded to Experimental

I have spot checked various source files to ensure they have the licenses
stated in debian/copyright - this copyright file was generated via
cme update copyright and then tidied up manually.

I have sbuild this package against both unstable and
unstable+experimental and all information &
warning lintian issues have been resolved.

In addition to sponsoring this project - if appropriate I would like
to continue maintainership of this package
(assuming that it is acceptable to Debian) in a similar manner as my
current maintainership packages (dak fossfree...@ubuntu.com)


Changes for the initial release:

 budgie-screensaver (4.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium

Bug#987733: ITP:budgie-screensaver - desktop screensaver for the budgie desktop

[David Mohammed]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Owner: David Mohammed (fossfree...@ubuntu.com)

Package name : budgie-screensaver
Version : 4.0
Upstream Author : Solus Project
URL : https://github.com/getsolus/budgie-screensaver
License : GPL-2
Programming Lang: C
Description : Screensaver and screen lock for the Budgie Desktop
 budgie-screensaver is a simple screen saver and screen lock and is a
 form of gnome-screensaver formerly used in older versions of the
 GNOME desktop environment and adopted for use in the Budgie Desktop
 .
 It is designed to support, among other things:
 .
  * the ability to lock down configuration settings
  * translation into other languages
  * user switching

Bug#982937: debdiff to resolve

[David Mohammed]

After discussing this with smcv on #debian-gnome I have tested the
enclosed debdiff.

This works just fine adding support to budgie-desktop [v10.5.2
currently in testing] (which uses mutter as its window manager) - it
retains the advantage of ensuring that - for example - plasma users
are made aware that gnome-shell will be installed if installing
gnome-remote-desktop.

Description: Binary data

Bug#982937: Please remove the gnome-shell dependency

[David Mohammed]

Package: gnome-remote-desktop
Version: 0.1.9-4

Please can you consider removing the runtime dependency on gnome-shell.

budgie-desktop uses mutter for its window manager.  It can therefore
make use of gnome-remote-desktop for screen-sharing.

I have rebuilt v0.1.9-4 locally without the gnome-shell dependency and
screen-sharing works fine (enabled via GNOME Settings).  Thus
gnome-shell is an unnecessary runtime dependency from a budgie
point-of-view.

thanks for considering

David

Bug#982370: Please consider updating to v0.6.5

[David Mohammed]

Package: drawing
Version: 0.6.4-1

Please can you consider updating to the microrelease 0.6.5 given the
imminent freeze dates

The upstream changelog for v0.6.5 is:

1. fix unexplained regression of bottom panes responsiveness
2. mitigation of the "very quick series of ctrl+b" bug
3. disable importing or opening an image using drag-and-drop with
flatpak (it was broken)
4. fix printing (issue #20)
5. more pertinent movements of the view when holding and moving the middle-click
6. update several translations

TIA

I would retest with gnome-shell on your setup.

This is highly likely to be either a gnome mutter issue or a graphics
driver issue rather than a budgie desktop specific issue since budgie is
highly dependent on those components.

Hi Simon,

  sure - I'll upload.

sbuild is failing at the moment - I presume mutter-7 hasn't been
uploaded yet since its a dependency failure.

I'll try again regularly over the next few days and upload once the
build works with the updated packages.

Bug#966628: slick-greeter: please default draw-grid to true (or some other eyecandy)

[David Mohammed]

hmm - the grid change was made by linux mint upstream a while back
hence the observation between buster and now.

I'm wondering if adding a Suggests: or possibly a Recommendation: for
the package lightdm-settings would be better here so that end users
will have a more obvious "this thing is actually configurable" - so
adding a grid if they want, their own background etc etc.

Bug#959810: Font color for Arc Lighter variant is grayish

[David Mohammed]

There isn't anything configurable via a package which can be done in this
area. Themes are fixed since they are compiled.

Suggestions like this are best made upstream

Bug#956553: blurry notifications in gnome 3.36

Please test with adwaita.

If notifications are still blurred with adwaita then its not a theme issue.

If notifications are blurred only with arc theme then please report
this to the upstream issue tracker - https://github.com/jnsh/arc-theme

Bug#954798: lintian: field-too-long checksums-sha256 error

[David Mohammed]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.59.0
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
 sbuild -d unstable for the latest version of my package budgie-extras
 threw a policy errors for this particular field

E: budgie-extras changes: field-too-long Checksums-Sha256 (5432 chars > 5000)
E: budgie-extras buildinfo: field-too-long Checksums-Sha256 (5321 chars > 5000)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
 sbuild using unstable

Note - no additional binaries were added in this upload - the new
version of lintian threw up these issues
   * What was the outcome of this action?
 E: budgie-extras changes: field-too-long Checksums-Sha256 (5432
chars > 5000)
 E: budgie-extras buildinfo: field-too-long Checksums-Sha256 (5321
chars > 5000)
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
 I wasnt expecting this issue.  It does seem a little restrictive especially
 since the sha256 field checksum for each of the binaries is relatively long
 as you would expect.
 I suppose I could "split" the package rather artificially - maybe
 one python based binaries and one vala based binaries with the current
 budgie-extras package as a "metapackage" - I'm really seeking advice
 how too proceed - I don't want to upload the fixes with these
 lintian errors that break policy

[David Mohammed]

Package: nemo-python
Version: 4.4.0-2+b1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
 python 3.8 is now the default in unstable.  Python based extensions
 no longer execute when nemo is running
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
 Install nemo-python in unstable
   * What was the outcome of this action?
 When nemo is run you see the following:

moka-icon-theme into Debian.

Please accept this revised version of the theme.  It substantially
updated with the current available release version together with
several upstream pull requests to ensure GNOME 3.34 compatibility.

I have sbuild via unstable ensuring linitian
errors/warnings/information are resolved.  I have also run
check-all-the-things to double check all is well.

In addition to sponsoring this project - if appropriate I would like
to continue maintainership of this package
(assuming that it is acceptable to Debian) in a similar manner as my
current maintainership packages (dak fossfree...@ubuntu.com)

Bug#950486: budgie-core: Desktop section doesn't show in 'Budgie Desktop Settings'

[David Mohammed]

Sure. You can use nemo-desktop or desktopfolder for the desktop icons
capability.

Under dconf id="com.solus-project.budgie-panel.DesktopIconsHandler">
 You can then say what is you desktop handler and the desktop section will
appear

Bug#950486: budgie-core: Desktop section doesn't show in 'Budgie Desktop Settings'

[David Mohammed]

This is because Solus deliberately keep back an old version of nautilus
that supports desktop icons.  Debian has move ahead with a version that
does not support desktop icons ... hence why there isnt a desktop section.

[David Mohammed]

I note that the package was in the new queue for some time but has disappeared.

Any updates as to the current status of this package request?

Many thanks in advance

Bug#942077: /usr/bin/budgie-desktop: Update to GNOME 3.34 breaks Budgie

[David Mohammed]

many thanks for the suggested changes.

Please can you let me know a bit more about your setup to clarify why
the patch is required.

Have you got both gnome-shell and budgie-desktop as sessions?

Are you using GDM3 for your login manager or lightdm login manager?

thanks

Bug#932547: RFS: desktopfolder/1.1.0-2

[David Mohammed]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "desktopfolder"

 * Package name: desktopfolder
   Version : 1.1.0-2
   Upstream Author : José Amuedo Salmerón joseamu...@gmail.com
 * URL : https://github.com/spheras/desktopfolder
 * License : GPL-3+
   Section : x11

  It builds those binary packages:

desktopfolder - Organize your desktop with panels, notes and photos

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/desktopfolder


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/desktopfolder/desktopfolder_1.1.0-2.dsc

 Notes:

This is preemptive upload.  I noticed that the experimental repo has uplifted
to using vala 0.44.  DesktopFolder does not build with this version of vala.

Rather than wait for a FTBFS type bug report when unstable is uplifted
with a newer toolchain, please can this upload be accepted.  This
includes one patch which I developed a few months ago and has been
accepted & uploaded to the upstream repo (commit detailed in the patch
header)

I have built via sbuild on the current unstable repo i.e. using vala
0.42.  The binary
produced was tested ok.  I then rebuilt the binary using experimental
& vala 0.44 and retested the installation and capability.

My sbuild is configured to run lintian -i -I --pedantic on the built
source.  One
Information lintian remains - missing autopkgtest.  I dont consider it
necessary for such a test to be defined.

If appropriate I would like to continue maintainership of this package
(assuming that it is acceptable to Debian) in a similar manner as my
current maintainership packages (dak fossfree...@ubuntu.com)


  Changes since the last upload:

   * Bugfix release
- resolve FTBFS with vala 0.44

Bug#924946: unblock: budgie-desktop/10.5-1

[David Mohammed]

Jonathan,

  ah - maybe I understood the freeze process - I attached the proposed
debdiff for 10.5 to this unblock request.  I thought the evaluation
would be done on that.

I can certainly upload 10.5 to unstable - should I do this?

Bug#920226: gnome-menus: No menu categories displayed in budgie-desktop

[David Mohammed]

Package: gnome-menus
Version: 3.31.4-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 1.1

Dear Maintainer,

   Testing on Ubuntu Budgie 19.04 which has a patched version of v3.31.4-2 
currently in Sid 
demonstrated a serious issue in budgie-desktop.  No menu categories were 
visible.
   
I then refreshed my Buster installation with the latest packages and confirmed 
that v3.31.4-2 had not yet migrated.
Budgie Desktop correctly displayed menu-categories.

I then downloaded the Sid version v3.31.4-2 gnome-menus and installed the 
binary.  Immediately no menu categories were visible
when the menu applet was opened.  I rebooted to confirm that the issue is still 
present.

I've marked this as Serious after consultation with Jeremy B (the last uploader 
of the package).

I have also tried reverting the "Sundry" menu handling in budgie-desktop - 
Sundry is a menu category that
has been removed by the new version of gnome-menus.  This has not resolved the 
issue.

Thus the problem is not immediately obvious to be due to budgie-desktop.

Notes:
This upload to experimental has been requested to facilitate the
upcoming GNOME mutter 3.30
transition that is about to be undertaken (Serious: #907616)

Tested by pbuilder-dist on experimental; this has been tested on
Ubuntu 18.10 (cosmic) and is part of the daily ISO builds

check-all-the-things has been run on the source
lintian -i -I --pedantic run on the built changes files.

W: orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature --> this is due to using
a git release tarball. A v10.5 signed tarball is expected soon by the
upstream project but date is yet to be set publically; I am using a
git release to
increase testing exposure in Ubuntu; since Debian is now about to
transition I'm more than happy for the Debian community to join the
testing effort.

May I request that this package be added to my debian maintainers list
of packages I'm allowed to look after (dak fossfree...@ubuntu.com) ? ;

timeliness of uploads is key especially as I am working with upstream
with development activities and the production of additional patches
as we
move towards budgie-desktop v10.5

  Changes since the last upload:

  * Release to experimental (Closes: #907616)
- base on ubuntu cosmic package; this includes a git release of
  budgie-desktop that will form the forthcoming v10.5 release.
  Includes additional patches to compile for mutter 3.30 plus
  current work-in-progress stability patches
  * Packaging Changes
- budgie-core.lintian-overrides - revise explanation of the lintian
  false positive results with the objdump test to confirm the observations
- bump control Standards-Version; no additional changes required
- libraven0.symbols add two additional symbols for git release

May I request that this package be added to my debian maintainers
list of packages I'm allowed to look after (dak
fossfree...@ubuntu.com) ?

  Changes since the last upload:

   * New upstream release
- Latest translations
- Fix HiDPI detection
- Add option to display to specific monitor (only-on-monitor)
  * Packaging Changes:
- Drop patch mint-master-unstable-19.patch since it is now
  included in the new release
- debian/control bump StandardsVersion - no changes required

Bug#898390: slick-greeter: /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf does not recognize lower case Greeter

[David Mohammed]

This is not a specific Debian issue and as such I would strongly recommend
that an issue be raised upstream

Bug#897601: budgie-desktop: Budgie desktop and netinst

[David Mohammed]

There isn't any recommended requirement for lightdm to be included
with budgie upstream.

You should be able to install whichever  logon manager you would like
to use.  I don't think we should be dictating to everyone to use a
specific logon manager with a "recommends"

Possibly I could add a Suggests: lightdm and maybe other packages so
we can have a one hit apt --install-suggests budgie-desktop

Just need to know the complete minimal list of packages to install
from a netinst to bring up a full graphical login.  Let me know your
thoughts.

Bug#897570: budgie-desktop: Cannot open additional windows for term apps

[David Mohammed]

Sounds like an upstream issue  - not Debian specific

There are various reports upstream such as this
https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/issues/232

and this PR which has been merged apparently allows you to shift-click
on an icon to launch a new instance

https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/pull/1364

Going to mark this as a wishlist item.

Once v10.4.1 of budgie-desktop is released we can check then if the
shift-click method resolves this launch of a new instance issue with
gnome-terminal (I am guessing that is the terminal you are using)

Bug#894150: tlp: Consider reducing the association between TLP and smartmontools

[David Mohammed]

Package: tlp
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

TLP currently recommends smartmontools.

Strictly speaking it does not actually need smartmontools to operate.

Filed separately is a bug report to split smartmontools into two binaries -
smartctl which TLP can use if its installed and smartd which is really a server
based daemon that emails and administrator.  TLP does not need this part.

Thus - could we for the moment lessen the association between the two packages
- reduce from Recommends: to Suggests:

Bug#894147: postfix: Postfix debconf should default to "Local Only" to not expose a security risk

[David Mohammed]

Source: postfix
Version: debconf question for postfix should be "Local only"
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

When installing Postfix, the debconf question defaults to "Internet Site" -
this is not logical since this will potentially expose the unwary installer to
a security issue where port 25 is left open.

Logically "Local only" should be used as the default debconf answer to ensure
the daemon binds to the loopback interface only.

Bug#894146: smartmontools: Split the smart daemon from the command line based smartctl

[David Mohammed]

Package: smartmontools
Version: 6.5+svn4324-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

TLP recommends smartmontools. Smartmontools also installs a mail server.

TLP actually only needs smartctl which is the command line utility.  The daemon
smartd is the only bit that needs to send email to an administrator.

Thus, please can smartmontools be split into two binary packages to allow TLP
and other related tools to recommend smartctl without needing to install a mail
server as well.

Bug#869953: budgie-core: Adapt to gnome-settings-daemon 3.24

[David Mohammed]

control: patch

Gianfranco and Jeremy

Please find a debdiff that resolves this issue.

The bug is rather unfortunately been exposed due to the unexpected
GTK+3.24 version only being migrated to buster - budgie-desktop is
expecting a coordinated GTK+3.24 gnome-settings-daemon and libmutter
being migrated at the same time.

I have applied this to the budgie-desktop version in unstable (same
version in buster), and run a pbuilder to check that it compiles.

Separately I have built and installed the built .debs and can confirm
I can now login successfully into a buster budgie-desktop session.

Given the rather unfortunate showstopper nature of this bug I have
marked the patch urgency=high

Gianfranco - I will separately merge this patch with budgie-desktop
10.4 that is in the mentors queue.

many thanks in advance
