Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: jeremy.bi...@canonical.com X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Package Name: xdg-terminal-exec Version: git snapshot Upstream Author: Vladimir Kudrya License: GPL-3+ Programming Lang: Shell Description: user default terminal execution utility xdg-terminal-exec is an implementation of a proposed freedesktop.org specification for launching a user's default terminal app. Other Info -- I will maintain this with the Debian freedesktop.org team. Packaging is at https://salsa.debian.org/freedesktop-team/xdg-terminal-exec This solves a problem: currently you can use update-alternatives to choose a default terminal for a Debian system, but what happens when you have multiple users on the same Debian system with different preferences? I don't think the "proposed specification" has been fully drafted yet. There is some discussion at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs/-/issues/54 and over the years in the xdg mailing list. More recently, the alpha for glib 2.76 (part of GNOME 44 Alpha) now supports xdg-terminal -exec and GNOME Terminal 3.46.7 includes the necessary metadata file. We might backport the glib feature to Debian Bookworm, but it is quite late in Bookworm's release process. The metadata would also need to be added to other terminal emulator apps and desktops that use glib would need to ship a metadata file with their preferred terminal emulators. There is no GUI way for users to override the preference; they would need to add/edit the config file in their home directory manually.

It is not restricted to gsettings although gsettings is a good use case for it. Here's an example where it's used for something else: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-boxes/-/commit/b536a968eb192 It would be nice if the upstream developers would handle user session migrations tasks themselves, but they often don't. > > Package: dh-migrations > > Provides: dh-sequence-migrations > > Description: debhelper extension for session-migration support > > This package provides a debhelper extension to perform session migration > > operations on the installed packages. > > This also seems extremely generic.

Despite being around for a decade, it looks like it's only used by about 6 current Ubuntu source packages so a rename is doable if needed.

I'd expect that the 'session-migration' binary package would work fine. It's a C "script" and a systemd user service. You might want to write an RPM implementation to do what dh-migrations does: install scripts listed in a migrations file and add a binary dependency on session-migration. It's not required but it's a convenience for distro packagers. And then we'd need to update the build to not build and test the Debian support when not being built for a Debian-compatible system.

This program is generally autostarted at the very beginning of the session and integrates caching capability. Package: dh-migrations Provides: dh-sequence-migrations Description: debhelper extension for session-migration support This package provides a debhelper extension to perform session migration operations on the installed packages. Other Info -- This has been part of Ubuntu for a decade but can solve real problems for Debian too. It will soon be used by both the GNOME and MATE packaging teams. One of its usecases is migrating user-set gsettings to renamed (or functionally similar new) gsettings keys. Often, upstream doesn't handle this migration themselves. And debhelper otherwise doesn't provide a tool for this. Basically, the way it works is that the package maintainer can provide a script. The script will be run at the next login and session-migration will ensure that the script is only run once. https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dh_migrations This is a "native" package and will be maintained by the Ayatana Packagers team.

PDF Arranger was formerly known as PDF Shuffler. Other Info -- pdfshuffler's last release was in 2012. pdfarranger was created because the pdfshuffler maintainer did not seem interested in accepting patches. pdfarranger has been ported from Python 2 and GTK2 to Python 3 and GTK3. pdfshuffler was the last package keeping the obsolete python-poppler in Debian. pdfshuffler was maintained by the Debian Python Applications Team so this is too.

The project aims to pay special attention to those developers and integrators who care about the maintainability of their projects during a long period of time. . BuildStream is also a powerful and flexible software integration toolset. It has been designed to create different outputs out of a unique input and, at the same time, it is able to adapt to complex workflows, even when additional build tools are required. An important part of BuildStream is a sister project called BuildGrid, that allows BuildStream to build at scale. Other Info -- Note that this package installs a new 3-letter binary: /usr/bin/bst I intend to maintain this with the Debian GNOME Team. Initial packaging is at https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/buildstream/ Docs are at https://buildstream.gitlab.io/buildstream/ BuildStream is sort of, but not really, a replacement for jhbuild. BuildStream is used to build GNOME releases (since GNOME 3.28) and the Freedesktop SDKs. The GNOME and KDE Flatpak runtimes depend on the Freedesktop SDKs. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha

The D-Bus API can be used to list devices, enroll them (authorize and store them in the local database) and forget them again (remove previously enrolled devices). It also emits signals if new devices are connected (or removed). During enrollment devices can be set to be automatically authorized as soon as they are connected. A command line tool, called boltctl, can be used to control the daemon and perform all the above mentioned tasks. Other Info -- Required for GNOME integration with Thunderbolt. Initial GNOME Shell support is in GNOME 3.28 (in Buster). The GNOME Settings (gnome-control-center) integration will be in GNOME 3.30 which is scheduled for release in September.

Yeah, it's a bit frustrating; I don't think there is a preferred way yet. So I'm thinking about naming the GitLab group "desktop-theme-team". I see its scope as themes for GNOME-compatible desktops. Specifically icon themes (should work for any desktop) and GTK+ themes (work anywhere that isn't Qt; for Qt stuff there is the KDE Extras team. Or it could maybe expand to include those too if people want to maintain them. GTK+ themes often include extras like Metacity, Xfwm, GNOME Shell pieces too.) I think the best we can do now for the Maintainer field is something like "Debian Desktop Theme Team <darkcold-gtk-th...@packages.qa.debian.org>" There is no team list, but the packages will be linked together in GitLab and with a Tracker Team (although the individual package page doesn't link to the team page [yet?], the team page does link to packages). I'm not particularly interested in upstream development of themes, just packaging the themes that already do exist. Thanks, Jeremy BIcha

Hi Adam, Would you be interested in team maintenance and a bit of an experiment?

Thank you for your work on this package and helping to make Debian better.
I have uploaded the package for you to the Debian NEW queue. It will
need to be manually examined by a member of the ftpmaster team before
it will be allowed into Debian. It's difficult to predict how long
that will take. It may be several weeks.
I made a few changes before uploading.
- I used Standards-Version 4.1.2, the latest version
- I used the same URL for the Source: in debian/copyright as we
already use for debian/watch
- The executable-not-elf-or-script warning is my fault for encouraging
you to drop the rule to fix the file permissions. (I thought it worked
before.) Therefore, I added back a slightly different version of that
rule to do that. Please file a bug upstream asking them to fix the
permissions. They can run a command like
find . -type f -exec chmod -x {} \;
I am attaching a patch with my changes.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

Bug#881459: ITP: obsidian-icon-theme -- Obsidian icon theme

Ok, I looked over the text of the GPL3 and it looks like copyright owners need to opt in if they want author information preserved in derivative works. It does not look like this was done by the Faenza creator. Could you please mention the Faenza creator's name in your debian/copyright, either in the Copyright line or a Comment line? That satisfies my concern for #11. 16.

Omar, thank you for pushing an updated version to the mentors site. There are a few new issues: 13. Please change debian/source/format back to 3.0 (quilt) Also change the version number in debian/changelog back to 3.5-1 14. Please add an extra blank line after the Initial release line in your debian/changelog. 15. Please use Standards-Version 4.1.2 not 3.9.8 Please also handle this: > 8.

Bug#842298: ITP: california -- calendar application for GNOME 3
Control: retitle -1 RFP: california -- calendar application for GNOME 3 Control: noowner -1 Hi, This is an automatic email to change the status of california from ITP (Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen any activity during the last year. If you are still interested in adopting california, please send a mail to <cont...@bugs.debian.org> with: retitle 842298 ITP: california -- calendar application for GNOME 3 owner 842298 ! thanks However, it is not recommended to keep ITP for a long time without acting on the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging that software. It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to time, by mailing <8422...@bugs.debian.org>. Thank you for your interest in Debian, Jeremy Bicha for the QA team <debian...@lists.debian.org>

Hi,
I am interested in sponsoring this package for you. If you need a
sponsor, I encourage you to file a RFS bug (Request for Sponsor) next
time. I believe this is encouraged at https://mentors.debian.net That
way, people interested in sponsoring packages will have a better
chance of seeing your work.
By the way, I am interested in starting a theme packaging team next
year. I'll let you know when that team is created in case you are
interested then.
Here are some issues I noticed while reviewing the package. Please fix them.
debian/changelog
=
1. For a new package to Debian, there should be only one
debian/changelog entry, the Initial release line.
2. The correct bug title for a package you are packaging is ITP
(Intent to Package) not RFP (Request for Package, in other words, a
request for someone else to package it). I have corrected that for
you.
debian/control
===
3. I think a majority of -icon-theme packages use Section: x11. Since
it can be used outside GNOME and isn't a GNOME project, I think x11 is
a better place for it.
4. The Vcs fields are intended for the debian/ packaging not the
upstream repository.
5. Please add a space after Homepage:
6. ${shlibs:Depends} is only needed for library packages so please remove it.
debian/rules
==
7. Please drop the override_dh_builddeb rule. The default is already
xz with adequate compression.
8. The override_dh_install rule looks unnecessary to me since the
files appear to already have the correct permissions.
other
===
9. Please drop debian/dirs. It's not needed here
10. Please use debhelper compat 10 (update debian/compat and debian/control)
copyright
===
The copyright and license status is arguably the most important thing
that ftpmasters look at when deciding whether to accept or reject a
new package into Debian.
11. Please ask upstream if this is really all original work. If it is
derived from another theme, then the copyright holders for the derived
parts need to be specified.
12. My understanding of the GPL3 license is that the license text
itself should be distributed with the source code. Please ask upstream
to do this for their next release.
Feel free to reply if you have questions.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
Bug#738447: ITA: luakit a fast and small web browser
Grégory, I think this ITA got stuck because you need to find a sponsor. Please see https://mentors.debian.net/ which should help you find a sponsor. I don't plan to sponsor this package, but I did happen to notice a few things. Please keep the old debian/changelog entries, especially since luakit was never removed from Debian completely (it's still in unstable). The most recent debian/changelog entry should say that you are adopting this packaging and close this bug. Also, please describe in debian/changelog any other changes you've made to the packaging (for instance, changing the webkitgtk dependency). Please use the Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser fields in debian/control to specify the git repo where the packaging is maintained. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Owner: jbi...@debian.org Package Name: woff2 Version: 1.0.2 Upstream Authors : Google License : Expat Programming Lang: C++ Homepage: https://github.com/google/woff2 Description: library for converting fonts to WOFF 2.0 woff2 is a library for converting fonts from the TTF format to the WOFF 2.0 format. The library also allows decompression from Woff 2.0 to TTF. . The WOFF 2.0 format uses the Brotli compression algorithm to compress fonts suitable for use in CSS @font-face rules. WOFF 2.0 is a W3C Candidate Recommendation. Other Info -- This library is required by webkit2gtk 2.20 which will be released in March. Previously, the library was bundled in the webkit2gtk sources. (It's still bundled in Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbird, TeX Live). I am packaging this as part of the Debian Fonts Team.

On Sun, Nov 5, 2017 at 11:48 AM, Jeremy Bicha <jbi...@debian.org> wrote: > Fedora 27 includes the Noto emoji by default. I was wrong here. Fedora 27 includes the Emoji One font by default. Although the Fedora package is currently named eosrei-emojione-fonts, the font actually comes straight from Emoji One's github and not from eosrei's github. The font provided by eosrei's github will not work for the GNOME feature and is also not the version of Emoji One recommended by Mozilla. I also found that Ubuntu already packaged fonts-emojione. Like the Fedora package, it simply installs the pre-compiled ttf. To actually build fully from source requires pacakging several node-grunt packages. On the other hand, Emoji Two isn't yet buildable for the GNOME feature. The Fedora developers would like to get this figured out within a year because it's bad to be stuck on an old unmaintained emoji font when new emoji are still being added to the Standard every year. One proposal is for it reuse the nototools build system used by fonts-noto-color-emoji. In that case, we wouldn't need to package the node packages. The Emoji One package in Fedora and Ubuntu doesn't support the Mozilla feature. See https://bugs.debian.org/849602 for more details. So someone is welcome to work on packaging Emoji One while we wait for Emoji Two. If someone wants to work on that, I recommend cloning this bug. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha

Also fonts-noto-color-emoji is in the NEW queue. Mike, I wonder why Mozilla standardized on the Emojione font. Given Emojione's license shift and the fact that it appears like Linux distros prefer the Noto emoji, do you think Mozilla would reconsider? (Fedora 27 includes the Noto emoji by default. I expect Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to include fonts-noto-color-emoji by default. Probably Debian GNOME Buster too. It is the same emoji used by Google in the latest stock Android devices.) If I understand https://github.com/EmojiTwo/emojitwo/blob/master/Gruntfile.js#L404 correctly, we'll need to package a lot more node/grunt libraries to build emojitwo from source. Ubuntu does have a package for fonts-emojione (from before the license change). (It technically doesn't build the font from source either but uses a pre-compiled .ttf). Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
Bug#880897: ITP: libcloudproviders -- cloud provider library
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Owner: jbi...@debian.org Package Name: libcloudproviders Version: 0.2.5 Upstream Authors : Carlos Soriano and Julius Haertl License : LGPL-3+. Programming Lang: C Description: cloud provider library libcloudproviders is a glib based library that makes it easier to implement a cloud provider server or client. . libcloudproviders also provides a DBus API that allows cloud storage sync clients to expose their services. Clients such as file managers and desktop environments can then provide integrated access to the cloud providers services. Other Info -- Currently, the only supported provider is Nextcloud. This package won't work for Nextcloud until proposed patches are accepted in gtk3 and there is a new Nextcloud release. libcloudproviders was a GSOC 2017 project. Here are updates from the GSOC student: https://blog.juliushaertl.de/index.php/category/gsoc-2017/ libcloudproviders is a major part of GNOME's strategy to deprecate the traditional "system tray". https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/StatusIconMigration/ The somewhat generic name is intentional because it is hoped that this library will be useful for other desktops and file managers. By the way, this is one of the first projects to use GNOME's GitLab beta hosting. https://gitlab.gnome.org/External/libcloudproviders The Debian GNOME team currently intends to maintain this package. Packaging is at https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-gnome/libcloud-providers.git Thanks, Jeremy Bicha

It looks like there are several more packages that you need to build nototools, some don't even have ITPs yet (like pyclipper). Do you intend to maintain these packages yourself or with a team? Do you have git repos for your work so far? Have you been able to build nototools or the noto-color-emoji font locally yet? I am usually in Debian IRC in #debian-gnome. Feel free to ping me.

Bug#866873: ITA: babl -- Dynamic, any to any, pixel format conversion library
Keng-Yu, I have been following your ITAs for babl and gegl since July. But it seems like progress is slow. I would like to maintain them under the pkg-gnome team since gnome-photos often requires the latest versions of babl and gegl. Would you be ok with the Debian GNOME team taking over maintenance of these packages? Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
