• Packaging of new applications: looking for sponsors

    From Henry-Nicolas Tourneur@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 19 18:40:01 2020
    Hello everyone,

    I am reaching out to you guys as I would like to work in the near
    future on the packaging of some new graphical applications that uses
    GTK+ (not gnome official apps but they are hosted on GNOME's gitlab
    under World/).

    I will be looking at those apps: password-safe and authenticator
    (Python apps).
    Later on, Fractal as well (currently reading on Rust packaging).
    Long term objective is to have more "mobile friendly" apps available
    for the Librem 5 phone (note that I am not affiliated in any way with
    Purism, just one of their users).

    Currently, I am working with DPMT (Johannes in CC) to get the Python dependencies for the 2 first apps available in Debian.
    Moving forward, would there be anyone in the Debian GTK/Gnome packaging
    team willing to mentor me for those 2 Python applications (as I am not
    a DD/DM)?

    I have an account on Salsa (henry-nicolas-guest) should anyone want

    Thanks and best regards,
    Henry-Nicolas Tourneur

    I'm not a DD but am happy to assist in whatever way possible.

    Fractal would be great to have as a package.

    I think working in Salsa makes a lot of sense, PureOS (which runs on
    the Librem 5) is a Debian derivative and tries to stay very close to
    Debian. Building debs for Debian means that you're apps will be pulled
    into PureOS per default since we mostly have a one-to-one
    correspondence with Debian binary packages. Should you need to get
    PureOS / Librem 5 specific help we have Matrix / IRC channels and
    you're free to use our Gitlab instance at https://source.puri.sm

    Thank you,

    Jeremiah

    I'm not a DD neither, but I started looking at Fractal too. I don't have anything worth sharing atm, as I'm mostly working at packaging the rust dependencies for now.

    Feel free to ping me when you start working on this package, anyway I'll
    keep you posted if I make significant progress.

    Cheers,
    Arnaud
