* Package name : libdecor-0.1 Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : Jonas Ådahl <[email protected]> Christian Rauch <[email protected]> * URL : https://gitlab.gnome.org/jadahl/libdecoration * License : MIT Programming Lang: C Description : client-side decoration library for Wayland "libdecor" is a library that can be used by Wayland clients to implement client-side window decorations. Client-side decorations are needed on Wayland if the compositor/server does not support server-side decorations (such as mutter/GNOME Shell). This library is mainly intended to be used by applications or frameworks which do not use a toolkit that already implements client-side decorations (such as GTK or Qt). Candidates for this are SDL, GLFW, Blender, and any other pure OpenGL application. SDL intends to adapt "libdecor" once a 0.1 release has been tagged: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/4068. At this point, "libdecor" will become a dependency. I am already maintaining an Ubuntu ppa at: https://launchpad.net/~christianrauch/+archive/ubuntu/libdecoration but would like to upstream the package into Debian. Since this is my first time packaging a library for Debian, I could use support from a co-maintainer who is familiar with Wayland. Potentially, the maintainer for SDL would be a suitable match to better coordinate the dependency tracking. The package itself is easy to maintain, but it could become a dependency for many other packages in the future. I will also need a sponsor to upload the package.
