Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-session": * Package name : budgie-session Version : 0.9-1 Upstream contact : Budgie Developers <ad...@buddiesofbudgie.org> * URL : https://github.com/buddiesofbudgie/budgie-session * License : GPL-2+ * Vcs : https://github.com/ubuntubudgie/budgie-session/tree/debian Section : misc The source builds the following binary packages: budgie-session - Budgie Session Manager To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-session/ Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-session/budgie-session_0.9-1.dsc More Information budgie-session is based upon the v44 version of gnome-session package in Debian. It inherits Debian's existing packaging. The existing d/copyright has been completely reworked since the existing gnome-session package is based on an old debian template (I think) and the copyright owners was not complete. The new gnome-session for GNOME 46 due in the new year (2024) includes changes that are incompatible with the current iteration of budgie-desktop. The effort to expend to make budgie-desktop compatible with it is (from an upstream POV) to be diverted with upcoming budgie-desktop changes. budgie-session is part of budgie-desktop's restructuring from its GNOME based roots to a more independent project structure. In the future budgie-session will evolve to support the new Wayland only version of budgie-desktop. Assuming this package is acceptable to Debian I (as Debian Maintainer) will upload a revised budgie-desktop package that utilises budgie-session to enable full end-user testing. This sbuilds against unstable and is lintian free. Changes for the initial release: budgie-session (0.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium . * Initial Release (Closes: #1058891) Regards, -- David Mohammed
