Actually, it was just a matter of configuring the repo with salsa-ci's file (no code change), so I just went away and did that; the pipeline ran successfully (minus the arm64 cross-build for an unrelated reason). > I believe I got everything else the way it should be. Yes. I commented and closed all issues on the repository (you could've done this yourself, but no problem!). The upload is on its way to the Debian NEW queue! Once it passes the review, it'll be auto-built and passed on to unstable archive; but that can really take some time, so be patient!

I hammered away basically everything but the CI. I'm not familiar enough with Debian's CI yet to just get it going. I'll have to research the link from the issue you posted when I have more time. luckily I am familiar with GitLab's CI in general so it shouldn't be difficult once I have a free block to try. I believe I got everything else the way it should be.

For _my_ standards, the package is still missing some thinks here and there, which I have filed as issues on the Salsa project, under a common milestone: https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/extras/kwin-bismuth/-/milestones/1#tab-issues #3 can be discussed later, but the other are quite important before upload.

Thanks for the pointers. Apologies for it taking me so long to get to it. I nuked the repo and is now a clean, one commit, repo with only the unstable debian files in the master branch. I've also updated the files to build with the latest upstream release. Tested with sbuild that it builds successfully.

Almost all of the repositories under https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team only contain the debian/ directory and no upstream sources with the master branch pointing to the unstable packaging. If you want to go that route, I'd delete the repo just as Didier suggested. The quickest way to get help in such questions is ususally to ask on IRC in #debian-qt-kde. -- Med vänliga hälsningar Patrick Franz
Bug#1008816: ITP: kwin-bismuth -- KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows
Hello there, I found the repo; https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/extras/kwin-bismuth One thing that struck me first is that the repository isn't in any of the standard git formats. See https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep14/ for a long description of the possibilities. I can't remember what the Qt-KDE Extras practices is, so I checked; https://qt-kde-team.pages.debian.net/gitguidelines.html seems to be the latest recommendations. Basically, I think it's reasonable to say that most Debian packages' repositories try to avoid mixing upstream and debian/* changes on the same branches. See https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit for some documentation on that area; specifically https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/projects/git-buildpackage/ git-buildpackage is pretty standard nowadays. As for what I'm concerned, my ideal repository has an upstream/latest branch with upstream's own history, upstream/1.2.3 tags for releases, debian/latest for the changes (and initial addition) in debian/*, and debian/1.2.3-1 tags upon releases. Now, how to go there from where you are? I'd basically start a new repo from scratch, start from upstream's branch tip and reconstruct (in one commit, or more) the debian/latest branch. Finally, another thing that will really help testing many Debian'isms before going to sid is the Salsa CI pipeline: https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/blob/master/README.md This will test many many things out-of-the-box, from the repository; so it'll also error-out early, and before reaching the Debian archive. I'm aware this is a lot of links, and a lot of specific quirks to learn about Debian specificities. But getting them right upfront will make any and all later collaboration much easier and faster as the repository (and package) will look familiar to the rest of Debian. It's really worth going through the effort!

Hello! I've moved over the repository into Salsa, updated it for the latest release `3.1.2`. I've built it on my Sid desktop with sbuild, lintian reports no errors, and it the software is working as expected. Let me know if you see anything you would change.

Bug#1008816: ITP: kwin-bismuth -- KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows
Okay sounds good, I'll get it moved over when I get some time. I've been personally using and maintaining it for about 5 months now with no issues. It's the best solution I've found for a good tiling experience in KDE, previously I was using i3-gaps and picom, but there are a lot of minor inconveniences with this route. Additionally my packaging was officially included in Ubuntu 22.04, with some changes to the debian files that I backported. I know there are at least some users of it as it's posted on bismuth's official GitHub. I've only ever received requests to update the package to a new upstream version.

Hello, Thanks for the response. I'd say if John is interested in maintaining the package then it would definitely make sense to collaborate on it. As for the repo should I just mirror my current work from GitLab over to Salsa?

Hello there Blake, I have heard about Bismuth and would like to see it in Debian.

I believe this is probably > an area for the KDE Extras Team. I see that John (cc'ed) has already started a Debian package on Salsa (Debian's Gitlab instance): https://salsa.debian.org/jgoerzen/bismuth Would it make sense for you two to collaborate on this? I agree it would make sense in KDE Extras, so (as I had the rights), just went away and created a repo there: https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/extras/kwin-bismuth I've invited John and you to it; don't hesitate to ask if you have questions! > I will need a sponsor to upload this package.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Blake Lee X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org * Package name: kwin-bismuth Version : 3.0.0 Upstream Author : Mikhail Zolotukhin * URL : https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth * License : Expat, GPL-3+, CC-BY-4.0, LGPL-3.0+ Programming Lang: RypeScript, C++, QML Description : KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows Description: KDE Plasma extension for tiling windows KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm. This package extends the kwin WM to allow for tiling windows. I have used many different tiling scripts for kwin and in my opinion this is by far the best one. I plan on maintaining this on my GitLab, but I would have no issue maintaining it with a team. I believe this is probably an area for the KDE Extras Team. I will need a sponsor to upload this package.
