Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-extras" * Package name : budgie-extras Version : 0.3.0-1 Upstream Author : Ubuntu Budgie Developers * URL : https://github.com/ubuntubudgie/budgie-extras * License : GPL-3+ Section : misc It builds those binary packages: budgie-countdown-applet - Applet providing a countdown capability on the Budgie Desktop budgie-hotcorners-applet - Applet providing hotcorners capabilities for the Budgie Desktop budgie-keyboard-autoswitch-applet - Applet adding the ability to set a different keyboard layout per budgie-previews-applet - Applet providing window previews capabilities for the Budgie Desk budgie-quicknote-applet - Applet providing simple notes capability for the Budgie Desktop budgie-showtime-applet - Applet displaying date and time on the Budgie Desktop budgie-window-mover-applet - Applet allows moving windows between workspaces for the Budgie De budgie-workspace-overview-applet - Applet providing quick access to workspaces for the Budgie Deskto budgie-workspace-wallpaper-applet - Applet providing per workspace wallpaper To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-extras Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-extras/budgie-extras_0.3.0-1.dsc Notes: Budgie Desktop is the flagship desktop system for Solus. Budgie Desktop can be extended through applets - LibPeas based applications that provide extra capabilities not available through the core product. For this sponsorship request, myself as the project lead of the GNU/Linux distro Ubuntu Budgie have been working with my team to develop a series of additional Budgie Desktop applets that we believe give the end user additional optional capabilities to enhance their user experience. These applets are distro agnostic and we believe would benefit Debian users of the Budgie Desktop. Viability: The Ubuntu Budgie team have a direct interest in developing and maintaining these applets. These are already available to Ubuntu Budgie users via its backports PPA. Maintainership: I maintain all budgie related packages for both Debian and Ubuntu. Packaging: We have made each applet available as individual binary packages - this allows users the flexibility to choose specific applets rather than having to install everything. For this release (and moving forward) I have signed with my 4K based key. The package was verfied through a `uscan -v --force-download` and unpacked & built & uploaded to mentors check-all-the-things has been run on the source and where appropriate we have tidied up both the source and debian packaging. lintian -i -I --pedantic on the built changes file has been run and is lintian free. We include a pep8 based autopkgtest that has been tested on an schroot for both unstable and also Ubuntu's bionic series. The test has passed successfully. The package itself runs with an autotest - the same pep8 test for autopkgtests (see tools/run_pep8) Testing: The minimal XFCE based Debian Buster was upgraded to unstable and budgie-desktop was installed. The package was built and each individual binary package was installed and tested to confirm that they work correctly - this importantly caught all the necessary runtime dependencies that have been captured in debian/control Changes since the last upload: * Initial Release (Closes: #883720) Regards, David Mohammed
