Package: tint2
Severity: normal

Hello, the current upstream for tint2 is https://code.google.com/p/tint2/

As you can see, the project is inactive (no updates since 2012), and bugs
and feature requests are left open. The last updates can be listed at:
https://code.google.com/feeds/p/tint2/svnchanges/basic

I've found an updated fork at https://github.com/chazmcgarvey/tint2/, which
repo provides several patches for tint2, adding the following enhancements and 
bug fixes:

https://github.com/chazmcgarvey/tint2/commit/1aea2f679d269af1facc9f80870793bb43126703
fix clock to update even if it is on line two (bugfix)

https://github.com/chazmcgarvey/tint2/commit/9f7b8f30f440c4ba7d9894458fa92dfa4344db03
https://code.google.com/p/tint2/issues/detail?id=381
New config parameter launcher_apps_dir:
..desktop launchers placed in the configured directory will be automatically 
added
to tint2's program launchers section. This provides a simpler way to add 
launchers.
(in upstream tint2, you had to add one launcher_item_app directive per launcher 
in the config file)

Adds a new separator/freespace object:
Adding 'F' to the panel_items directive now places a separator/freespace that
takes the maximum available space. Useful to condense task lists on the 
left/right
side of the panel.


Can you consider adding these patches to the Debian package? Upstream developers
seem to have abandoned the project and do not respond to patch requests.

Thanks in advance
