Bug#861490: update
quick update: I package it already, I'd only need a sponsor. The package is on mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/package/xf86-input-tslib I maintain the tslib package aswell. It gains popularity now: https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=libts0+libts-bin&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=2017-01-01&to_date=now&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 Maintaining xf86-input-tslib wouldn't be a problem. And it's quite useful as long as people are still using X11.
Bug#861490: RFS: xf86-input-tslib/0.0.7-1
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: whishlist Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "xf86-input-tslib" * Package name: xf86-input-tslib Version : 0.0.7-1 Upstream Author : Martin Kepplinger * URL : https://github.com/merge/xf86-input-tslib-debian * License : MIT Section : x11 It builds those binary packages: xserver-xorg-input-tslib - tslib touchscreen driver for X.Org/XFree86 server To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/xf86-input-tslib Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xf86-input-tslib/xf86-input-tslib_0.0.7-1.dsc The package had been in Debian, see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xf86-input-tslib but the packaging is rewritten; the package is up to date. tslib is often used in embedded systems without an X server, but since tslib itself is in unstable, this would simply make it more easily usable when running Xorg. Changes since the last upload: xf86-input-tslib (0.0.7-1) unstable; urgency=low * upgrade to upstream 0.0.7 (Closes: #861455) * rewrite and simplify the packaging code for up-to-date Debian build system -- Martin Kepplinger Sat, 29 Apr 2017 12:07:58 +0100 Regards, Martin Kepplinger

xf86-input-tslib: new upstream release (and location)
Hi all, xf86-input-tslib is kind of dying in Debian, see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xf86-input-tslib tslib itself that this driver uses, has quite some users still. Now there is a new release, version 0.0.7 of this Xorg driver at a new location: https://github.com/merge/xf86-input-tslib/releases Since there still is the old packaging repository: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xf86-input-tslib.git/ Does one of you maintainers want to pick that up and create an 0.0.7-1 for unstable? The patches that were included by Debian are not needed anymore. thanks martin encrypted.asc Description: Binary data
Bug#854693: update to tslib 1.7
Dear possible sponsors, Let's make Debian for embedded just a little better! :) I'd be happy to maintain the tslib Debian package for the future. thanks, martin
Bug#854693: update
Dear mentors, I am still looking for a sponsor for my package "tslib". It uses the latest upstream version now and I updated and simplified the Debian build to have a proper Debian shared library: It builds those binary packages: libts-bin - touch screen library utilities libts-dbg - touch screen library debug symbols libts-dev - touch screen library, development files libts0 - touch screen library To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/tslib Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tslib/tslib_1.6-1.dsc Regards, Martin Kepplinger
Bug#854693: (kein Betreff)
just to add some advertisement for this package: tslib had been part of wheezy and only recently got development attention. Having tslib in Debian again would improve Debian for embedded. Debian is great, not only for "rapid prototyping", and sometimes devices' touch screens need tslib. thanks martin
