Bug#939406: ITP: ungoogled-chromium -- Web browser that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable internet browsing experience
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Thomas * Package name : ungoogled-chromium Version : 84.0.4147.105-1.1 Upstream Author : Eloston * URL :https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium * License : BSD-3-Clause Programming Lang: Python Description : A lightweight approach to removing Google web service dependency I intend to maintain the package that Piccoro has pointed out here as I use this browser on a daily basis and I believe that it is a better alternative to chromium. Chromium itself is still very dependent on Google web services to operate making this very difficult for those who want to use Chromium without the Google aspect to it. The package currently has a ungoogled-chromium-debian Github link where the original developer has included build files for ungoogled-chromium. I also intend on contacting & assisting the developer in packaging the files for Debian and uploading them to the official Debian archive.The ungoogled-chromium-debian branch contains packages for Debian sid and stable but is sometimes not as up-to-date as the original upstream source. So far, I plan on maintaining the package on my own but if I do need help I hope that I can reach out to the Debian Chromium Team. I require a sponsor - I have found a developer willing to sponsor the uploads.

This is where ungoogled-chromium comes in and offers an alternative to Chromium: A transparent and more private Chromium with Google web services stripped from the source code. I use ungoogled-chromium quite heavily as my main browser as I believe that it is a better alternative to the chromium that currently exists.

Bug#910000: Adopting xtables-addons
There is a RFA bug for xtables-addons (cc'ed): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=91 I was thinking about offering to adopt the package, but I'm still a bit of a novice at maintaining packages in Debian, so although it's fairly stable and doesn't see a lot of activity upstream, it occurred to me that it might make more sense for it to be adopted by the Netfilter team and to offer to help out in that context. Does this seem like a good idea? Shall I add it to https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/pkg-netfilter/tasks? J. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

You are most welcome to maintain twemoji in the JavaScript team and I agree that seems a good place to do it, given that upstream build framework seem tied to Node.js. Other options you might consider are the fonts team and DebianArt (if the latter is a team, not sure about that: Maybe ask Valessio Brito directly). When packaging it, then yes, please package it reusable for other projects as well - that's an important attitude of Debian packaging. This (from a quick look) indeed seems to mean include the javascript, not only SVGs. But maybe consult the fonts teams on that - they maintain several fonts where upstream ship Javascript stuff as well. Speaking of SVGs, are you sure this is the real source of those SVG files? It seems amchine-generated to me, and I suspect there is real concern as to freedom aspects of distributing only as provided here. Even if you choose to use the JavaScript team as platform for your package maintenance, I recommend that you discuss the issue of source of fonts with the font team, as there is collected quite some knowledge and experience in that team. Hmm, maybe the fonts team would be a better place after all. Not sure... Good luck with the project - seems a great resource to have in Debian! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature
Bug#878875: Packaging twemoji
hello Debian-js, I would like to package twemoji (SVGs for unicode emojis) [1], and I think debian-js is the right team for this. However, I consider packaging only the SVGs and not the javascript code, because that's all I need for the freeplane package, and the RFP author Dominik (CC:) did not reply to my query (see #878875). What do you think, is Debian-js the right place for this, and do you need the javascript code? [1] https://github.com/twitter/twemoji Cheers and Best Regards, -- Felix Natter
