[ Bcc debian-mentors as some prospective DD might be interested in packaging those ]
Hello, I would like to be able to use ubuntu's indicator applets in Debian but very few of the required packages are in Debian (only libindicator is available). Here are some of the design pages if you don't know what this is all about: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeMenu The missing source packages are AFAIK: - libdbusmenu https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdbusmenu (no RFP/ITP known) - libindicate https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libindicate RFP: http://bugs.debian.org/560122 - indicator-applet https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-applet RFP: http://bugs.debian.org/534556 - indicator-messages https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages (no RFP/ITP known) - indicator-application https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application (no RFP/ITP known) - indicator-session https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session (no RFP/ITP known) - indicator-me https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-me (no RFP/ITP known) - indicator-sound https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound (no RFP/ITP known) - in the near future: indicator-network https://launchpad.net/indicator-network And also several plugins/extensions to various piece of software: - evolution-indicator https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-indicator And some of those in Qt/KDE variants: - libindicate-qt https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libindicate-qt - https://launchpad.net/plasma-widget-message-indicator I contacted Ted Gould of Ubuntu/Canonical to ask him whether he would like to maintain some of those packages within Debian. If yes, I'll sponsor him (if you want to be the sponsor instead of me, please say so). I hope we can find maintainers for all those. Should they be maintained within the Debian Gnome team ?
