-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 * Package name : timekpr-next Version : 0.2.13 Upstream Author : Eduards Bezverhijs <ed...@inbox.lv> * URL : http://launchpad.net/timekpr-next/ * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Python Description : Keep control of computer usage Timekpr-nExT is a program that tracks and controls the computer usage of your user accounts. You can limit their daily usage based on a timed access duration and configure periods of day when they can or cannot log in. . Any bugs should be reported to our bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/timekpr-next/+bugs Reason for packaging: Being a parent of several young kids, now especially stuck at home due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been searching for quite some time some kind of parental control software to limit their screen time in Linux. Today, I was lucky to come across this wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Parental_control where Timekpr-nExT is the first on the list. Timekpr-nExT is also featured in the following November 2019 article: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/11/timekpr-next-is-linux-parental-control.html Timekpr-nExT has been living as an Ubuntu PPA for some years thanks to upstream author who also maintains the Debian packaging, and end user Sim asks for to have it officially packaged for Debian to get "massive exposure in BOTH Debian AND Ubuntu communities": https://answers.launchpad.net/timekpr-next/+question/685282 Sim also further points out that: I was looking for years for an effective program that can limit the time kids spend on computer. And there is absolutely nothing like this within 59000 current Debian packages. I'm sure thousands of teachers/parents worldwide are desperately looking for something like this. Arguing with children each time you want them to stop using computer is too exhausting... and I admit I am in the same boat myself, so here we are! :-) Since this is a Python 3 application, I intend to maintain it within the Python Applications Packaging Team. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEFCQhsZrUqVmW+VBy6iUAtBLFms8FAl6ZEp8ACgkQ6iUAtBLF ms+AGhAAh2BPpuqXzjyzpf8iWz1f/Ki4k+f1co87In6vd+njeSGSQmwbvqSMqrSn 2hCjGeqRUHp7IqEkoPdZZV/6/N9aIhr8PlM9uZC8CF+E3QWw9KkWpLj+h8P25PkC 6AM9dZdxgZKaYkQaSX2y58VDfWIC9jMOJYaH9dBmv/k5l4RVU+YZqmJxU6xVxza1 dAj6v52dusbyF2f6WR6EiGUs81XWiesQmR+GDeiSPGcn4fH4k0DeK24yWiJDQAWi jqBTYrpRhSpQBna5kpSgeXh3m/08RD8x901iBtHjoTfE5pHYI4DYWhZ3Dh5LGMVP hqmjqlID3FlGXHpiFDtd82vvQNMM41UYJVsp5cVrBAu8nLdRpL6mLIEcvgLrZRdq kh+r4V2S6N9JvhjFvvIewEBS1JW1hXXh34MuF3ztm0ahm3j9xOF8hexTayn36TnA 5Y6swgamDp3U5Zt/tkaFbbrvvKENONGU/0wokK8hy0pqalcNsCMSiGx2wVbcR6z3 THeGfYUXBb1mOdP5eS+1Y4j4YfnuG/LdrIYQFBgAk5T0Fdemy7yYu45lBFPSeh4I F9kjlMpPIkC3ocBHjg9bgil/2eSSQeIEYL/hzujiSUAFKwsD9lT0kcGM30wum7da XM1fdZFtEos0AU9XzhB0HxmuXZVE/WQla4rVVkYAneLXHcPG1pQ= =VQXf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
