Hi
Advene[1] is a video annotation software (GPL), developed with python, Gtk
and Gstreamer. It was present in older Debian releases [2], but got
removed some years ago due to major migrations (python2->python3,
Gtk2->Gtk3, Gstreamer0.10->Gstreamer1.0).
Since then, the application has been updated and is now in good
shape to be reintroduced into Debian. The updated Debian package[3],
migrated from cdbs to dh_python, has been used/tested for at least 3
years (distributed through a private repository[4]). As per [5]/[6]
a ITP bug has been filed: #1014535
It was previously maintained under the Multimedia Team umbrella, but
the there seems to be no more interested dev there with time to sponsor this package there, and I was hinted that the Python team may be more
appropriate.
I am looking for help/sponsorship from the Python Team to help
getting the package back in Debian. I am ready to be part of
the Python Team (I have read the policy.rst and accept it)
and do most of the work if needed, but I would welcome
guidance wrt the current practices of python packages.
Anyone interested?
Happy hacking! Best,
Olivier Aubert
