Color Management in Debian
Hi, on the Ubuntu Developer Summit this month we discussed the introduction of color management in Ubuntu. See https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-icc-color-management What is needed is to introduce some new packages, especially colord, update other packages, build packages against colord, ... This would be perhaps much easier when Debian would add the same color management stack and also if we want to follow the plans to have a unique printing stack in Debian and Ubuntu. Therefore I want to ask you all whether you would like to cooperate. What has to be done is to fix all the Related bugs (which are more feature requests than bugs) on the Blueprint linked above also for Debian. Especially colord needs to get packaged first: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/741448 and then all the other packages built with colord being present. Anyone wants to volunteer?

Furthermore as you have certainly noticed, our Debian Printing Team is not (currently) staffed enough to take that task on its own shoulders. So it would actually be very nice if you could (re-)send this message to debian-devel, to get a wider set of opinions.

Re: Packaging pxljr [was: Junior packaging tasks within the Debian Printing Team]
2011/5/31 Till Kamppeter till.kamppe...@gmail.com I am OK with having all these packages co-maintained in Debian and Ubuntu. As I mentioned earlier we should approach a unique printing stack for Debian and Ubuntu to reduce duplicated effort. The packages should be done in a way that the source packages for Debian and Ubuntu are equal, special Ubuntu-only functionality, like for example the Apport hook for automatic bug reports on Launchpad, should be present but only be built/installed if the package gets built on a Ubuntu system. This way most packages can be actively maintained at Debian and auto-synced by Ubuntu. AFAIK CUPS works this way. At least packages can get released as snapshots from the same code repository, as it is done with HPLIP. That sounds good. What do we need do to get it?

In my humble opinion, it's maybe better to start with modifying an existing package, that would be pxljr. For pxljr, the first task would be to Contact the current Ubuntu maintainers to ask them if they would be interested in (co-)maintaining the package directly in Debian. Would you be ready to draft a mail to the current Ubuntu maintainer (Till Kamppeter), asking him what his opinions are ? Although note that in any case, importing the past Ubuntu uploads into a git repository, hosted on alioth.debian.org, is a good thing to do; this helps reviewing past and future changes. Can you do that (hint: bzr-fastexport should help) ? (You can start in a private git repository stored elsewhere before pushing it to the official location.) Once we have Till's answer and the past source packages in a git repository, we'll be ready for the needed changes to get it uploaded to Debian (in any case, we need an ITP bug, e.g.). Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have! Cheers, OdyX, who is happy to have found someone. N.B. I CC'ed you on my answer, contrary to the Debian lists netiquette (which assumes that no copies are wanted). Are you subscribed to debian-printing or do you want explicit copies each time (which you should state explicitely each time) ?
