* Package name : python3-pagamigo Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Alyssa Rosenzweig <aly...@rosenzweig.io> * URL : https://notabug.org/alyssa/pagamigo * License : AGPLv3+ Programming Lang: Python Description : Free software script for PayPal payments PayPal is used for donations to a number of free software organisations, including the Debian project itself [1]. Unfortunately, at present, PayPal requires the use of proprietary software (typically JavaScript) to so much as make a donation. Further, it would appear this software tracks the user well beyond what is strictly necessary for the transaction. Pagamigo is a free software script to enable the user to complete PayPal transactions, avoiding the proprietary JavaScript. It currently implements: - The redirect flow, as used by many online merchants - Peer-to-peer money transfers ("Send money") It is implemented in architecture-independent Python3. All of its dependencies are already packaged in Debian, which should simplify packaging greatly. [1] https://www.debian.org/donations ---- I am the upstream author of Pagamigo; I have been developing the software as part of my internship with the Free Software Foundation. I am interested in maintaining it in Debian. I do not have Debian push access (is that the right terminology?) and will need a sponsor. I have begun packaging the software with dh-python3; the work-in-progress `.deb` has been confirmed to be functional on debootstrapped chroots of Debian unstable (aarch64) and Trisquel flidas (amd64, an Ubuntu derivative). More rigorous testing to follow. Thanks, -Alyssa
