Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-desktop-view": * Package name : budgie-desktop-view Version : 1.0.2-1 Upstream Author : Josh Strobl <jos...@streambits.io> * URL : https://github.com/getsolus/budgie-desktop-view * License : Apache-2.0 * Vcs : https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-desktop-view/tree/debian Section : misc It builds those binary packages: budgie-desktop-view - Desktop Icons for the Budgie-Desktop To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-desktop-view/ Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-desktop-view/budgie-desktop-view_1.0.2-1.dsc Notes: I am the Debian Maintainer of budgie-desktop & budgie-extras (plus several other packages). Recently the Solus Project who are the upstream of budgie-desktop released v10.5.1 of budgie-desktop. This included support for a new project of theirs called budgie-desktop-view which provides desktop icon support for the budgie-desktop. Upstream has marked this as "stable" I have had to ship budgie-desktop to Debian without desktop-icon support - this is the reason for this RFS - to include in the Debian archive the upstream support for desktop-icons. Implementation will be two fold: 1. upload of this package if acceptable to Debian and 2. once uploaded, make a change to budgie-desktop to add a recommendation to this package + a gsettings-override to enable the budgie-desktop-view. I will handle this latter implementation myself via my current maintainer rights. I have spot checked various source files to ensure they contain the Apache-2 license header. I have sbuild this package against unstable 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-desktop-view (1.0.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium . * Initial Release (Closes:#976649) Regards, -- David Mohammed
