Bug#1008816: ITP: kwin-bismuth -- KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows
I hammered away basically everything but the CI. I'm not familiar enough with Debian's CI yet to just get it going. I'll have to research the link from the issue you posted when I have more time. luckily I am familiar with GitLab's CI in general so it shouldn't be difficult once I have a free block to try. I believe I got everything else the way it should be.

Bug#1008816: ITP: kwin-bismuth -- KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows
Thanks for the pointers. Apologies for it taking me so long to get to it. I nuked the repo and is now a clean, one commit, repo with only the unstable debian files in the master branch. I've also updated the files to build with the latest upstream release. Tested with sbuild that it builds successfully.

Bug#1008816: ITP: kwin-bismuth -- KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows
Hello! I've moved over the repository into Salsa, updated it for the latest release `3.1.2`. I've built it on my Sid desktop with sbuild, lintian reports no errors, and it the software is working as expected. Let me know if you see anything you would change.

Bug#1008816: ITP: kwin-bismuth -- KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows
Okay sounds good, I'll get it moved over when I get some time. I've been personally using and maintaining it for about 5 months now with no issues. It's the best solution I've found for a good tiling experience in KDE, previously I was using i3-gaps and picom, but there are a lot of minor inconveniences with this route. Additionally my packaging was officially included in Ubuntu 22.04, with some changes to the debian files that I backported. I know there are at least some users of it as it's posted on bismuth's official GitHub. I've only ever received requests to update the package to a new upstream version.

Hello, Thanks for the response. I'd say if John is interested in maintaining the package then it would definitely make sense to collaborate on it. As for the repo should I just mirror my current work from GitLab over to Salsa?

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Blake Lee X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org * Package name: kwin-bismuth Version : 3.0.0 Upstream Author : Mikhail Zolotukhin * URL : https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth * License : Expat, GPL-3+, CC-BY-4.0, LGPL-3.0+ Programming Lang: RypeScript, C++, QML Description : KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows Description: KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm. This package extends the kwin WM to allow for tiling windows. I have used many different tiling scripts for kwin and in my opinion this is by far the best one. I plan on maintaining this on my GitLab, but I would have no issue maintaining it with a team. I believe this is probably an area for the KDE Extras Team. I will need a sponsor to upload this package.
Bug#1008644: ITP: nala -- commandline frontend for the apt package manager
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Blake Lee X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org * Package name: nala Version : 0.7.1 Upstream Author : Blake Lee * URL : https://gitlab.com/volian/nala * License : GPLv3+ Programming Lang: Python Description : commandline frontend for the apt package manager nala is a frontend for the apt package manager. It has a lot of the same functionality, but formats the output to be more human readable. Also implements a history function to see past transactions and undo/redo them. Much like Fedora's dnf history. This package is useful because it improves the UX of managing packages through the command line with python3-apt. Additionally provides some extra quality of life features such as a transaction history you can interact with. I use nala daily, as do many others. Similar packages include apt and aptitude. Nala improves upon the hardwork of the apt team by formatting the output in a more readable manner. At the moment I maintain this program on our GitLab. That is where we accept bug reports and feature requests. I don't have any problems accepting bug reports from Debian's system, or emails for that matter. I regularly accept bug reports from our GitHub as well. We currently have support for the German language, and I have someone working on a Spanish po file as well. Nala is still in active development, but it is very usable. I've had many people ask me about getting this into the Official Debian repos so this is my request for that. I assume that I would be in need of a sponser considering I've never uploaded anything into a Debian repository. But I did try my best to make the debian files proper, and I personally use sbuild for building the software. In case it is required I do have our repo already mirrored into debian salse https://salsa.debian.org/volian-team/nala My users would be thrilled to hear this makes it into the official repositories. I'm looking forward to your response.
