* Package name : libgnt Version : 2.14.0-devel Upstream Author : Pidgin Developers <de...@pidgin.im> * URL : https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/libgnt/ * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: C Description : GLib Ncurses Toolkit GNT is an ncurses toolkit for creating text-mode graphical user interfaces in a fast and easy way. It is based on GLib and ncurses. It was born out of the console-based UI, Finch, for the libpurple project. -- This code is currently part of the Pidgin upstream tarball and thus the pidgin source package, but is being broken out upstream for the next release. Accordingly, I am breaking it out into a new package in Debian. I am working with Ari Pollak, the pidgin package maintainer. My intention is to prepare the package using a development snapshot so that everything is ready in advance for the 2.14.0 releases of libgnt and Pidgin. Given that this is already a stable library and going to be a dependency of the next minor release of Pidgin, I am leaning towards uploading to unstable rather than experimental, but I can be convinced otherwise. This package will be maintained on Debian Salsa at (not yet created): https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libgnt -- Richard
