Bug#914257: ITP: backdrop -- A full-featured content management system
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: William Blough * Package name: backdrop Version : 1.11.2 * URL : http://backdropcms.org/ * License : GPL2+ Programming Lang: PHP Description : A full-featured content management system Backdrop is a fork of Drupal 7. It preserves the legacy audience of developers who value ease of use and speed of learning over architectural flexibility. This package is useful/relevant because Drupal will no longer be available in Debian, starting with Buster. Drupal 7 will be end-of-life before too long, and Drupal 8 is unlikely to be packaged. This package gives existing Drupal 7 users a supported migration path for their existing code, without the hassle of upgrading everything to Drupal 8. It is not yet a dependency for another package, however, as with Drupal there are numerous modules that could potentially be packaged to go with it. My employer is deploying Backdrop as a replacement for Drupal 7, instead of updating all our code to be Drupal 8 compatible. If I'm going to support it for their Debian infrastructure, I might as well package it for Debian proper so others may also benefit. The functionality of Backdrop is nearly identical to Drupal 7, with the exception that Backdrop will be supported even after Drupal 7 is end-of-life I am willing to maintain the package myself, since I will be doing it for my employer anyway. However, I am certainly open to team or co-maintenance if others are interested. I do not need a sponsor as I am a DD.
Bug#905812: ITP: django-cas-server -- CAS server library for Django
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: William Blough * Package name: django-cas-server Version : 0.9.9 Upstream Author : Valentin Samir * URL : https://github.com/nitmir/django-cas-server * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Python Description : CAS server library for Django CAS Server is a Django application implementing the Central Authentication Service (CAS) Protocol version 3.0 specification. - Why is this package useful/relevant? A Django client for CAS already exists in Debian (python-django-casclient), however, there does not appear to be a python-based CAS server available. - Is it a dependency for another package? No. - Do you use it? Yes. - If there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it compare? The package lemonldap-ng is written in perl and supports CAS. It is a very full featured, standalone SSO system. However it (in my opinion) is a little too complex for simple environments. In contrast, django-cas-server can simply plug into an existing Django deployment with little difficulty (and fewer features). - How do you plan to maintain it? I am willing to join the Debian Python Module Team and maintain it under that umbrella. However, if it doesn't make sense for me to join the team for one package, then I'm willing to maintain it by myself. Either is acceptable to me. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
