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 <jos...@streambits.io> * 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 This project is no longer maintained.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 . * Initial release (Closes: #987733) Regards, -- David Mohammed
