Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "nautilus-scripts-manager".
* Package name : nautilus-scripts-manager Version : 1.2-1 Upstream Author : Pietro Battiston (me) * URL : http://www.pietrobattiston.it/nautilus-scripts-manager * License : GPL-3 Section : gnome It builds these binary packages: nautilus-scripts-manager - simple tool for nautilus scripts management The package is lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 536878 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/nautilus-scripts-manager - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/nautilus-scripts-manager/nautilus-scripts-manager_1.2-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Some background, for those who may be interested: - I wrote a relatively complex nautilus script ([1]) that I plan to package.[2] My goal was (mainly) to help people who don't know how to use/don't want to use the terminal (I do indeed use it regularly ;-) ... - ...but I realized that currently people /have/ to use the terminal to enable nautilus scripts (since it must be done on a user base by symlinking). - There is a tool to enable/disable them (nautilus-script-manager - notice mine has an "s" which prevents the clashing) which is packaged only in Ubuntu, is really very very simple... and still has no GUI. Moreover, it doesn't help changing/localizing/organizing the names of the scripts in the menu. - The non-userfriendliness of the whole system has led to some crazy choices in the Ubuntu packaging of nautilus scripts (see [3]) (notice all such packages currently depend on the old nautilus-script-manager, and I plan to ask to replace it with my nautilus-scripts-manager, at least as "Recommends"). That's why I wrote and packaged a scripts manager that I see as a (much better) replacement to Ubuntu's nautilus-script-manager, and as a way to cleanly introduce user-friendliness in Nautilus scripts (and hence Nautilus scripts in Debian). Notice pygtk is not a dependence for the app itself, but if it is not installed then the menu icon fails without warnings; that's why I put python-gtk2 in Depends. (anyway, if you have nautilus and python installed, you probably have pygtk, and if you don't, it's not such a huge dependence) My usual sponsor, Piotr Ożarowsk, already helped me fixing few minor problems upstream and in the packaging, but is currently too busy to sponsor nautilus-script-manager. thanks to anyone who read so far Pietro Battiston [1]: http://poisson.phc.unipi.it/~battiston/gueic/doku.php?id=gallery_uploader [2]: (but it will "Recommends" nautilus-scripts-manager, that's why I still don't ask for sponsorship) [3]: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audio-convert/+bug/130055 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
