2018-12-19 14:14:35 fossfreedom description Description in preparation - Needs Packaging tag/Ubuntu Sponsors etc to be added to the report As part of Ubuntu Budgie support for 19.04 Disco version of Nautilus, the project is intending to use an existing project called DesktopFolder to provide the desktop-icons capability that its users expect. This issue has been raised to request sponsorship of this package Note: This is a backstop request - I am pursuing sponsorship via Debian; it has been sponsored but is awaiting Archive Admin authorisation (New Queue). Given the upcoming transition, soft freeze etc dates for Debian Buster and the rather lengthy New queue, I am requesting this also for Ubuntu just in-case DesktopFolder is not processed before the new package freezes occurs. Important - Nautilus 3.30 is now in Disco proposed and Ubuntu Budgie hopes to enable its testers to test Nautilus 3.30 in conjunction with DesktopFolder. I will obviously withdraw this request if auth by Debian AA is given. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=913363 Description in preparation - Needs Packaging tag/Ubuntu Sponsors etc to be added to the report Dear Ubuntu Sponsors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "desktopfolder" * Package name : desktopfolder Version : 1.0.10-1 Upstream Author : José Amuedo Salmerón joseamuedo@gmail.com * URL : https://github.com/spheras/desktopfolder * License : GPL-3+ Section : x11 It builds those binary packages: desktopfolder - Organize your desktop with panels, notes and photos To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: Add URL to built package here More information about desktopfolder can be obtained from https://github.com/spheras/desktopfolder/blob/master/README.md Notes: I am the project lead of Ubuntu Budgie. I already maintain many packages via my current Debian & Ubuntu Maintainers rights. The reason for the request for this package sponsorship is due to the current Nautilus version in Disco proposed. As part of Ubuntu Budgie support for 19.04 Disco version of Nautilus, the project is intending to use an existing project called DesktopFolder to provide the desktop-icons capability that its users expect. Note: This is a backstop request - I am pursuing sponsorship via Debian; it has been sponsored but is awaiting Archive Admin authorisation (New Queue). Given the upcoming transition, soft freeze etc dates for Debian Buster and the rather lengthy New queue, I am requesting this also for Ubuntu just in-case DesktopFolder is not processed before the new package freezes occurs. I will obviously withdraw this request if auth by Debian AA is given. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=913363 We recognise that many budgie-desktop users expect a more traditional desktop experience that includes the ability to place various files and folders onto the desktop. Budgie-Desktop had integrated with Nautilus to provide that ability in the past. But due to Nautilus 3.30 now in Disco proposed, nautilus has removed the desktop icons & folders support, Ubuntu Budgie users would need to use strange workarounds such as running two File Managers - Nautilus and Nemo where Nemo provides the desktop icons support. This request provides an excellent alternative - a low memory usage dedicated application that provides desktop icons & folders. The application has been part of the ElementaryOS appcenter and Elementary Pantheon. I have been working with the maintainer to make this application compatible with budgie-desktop. As a project team Ubuntu Budgie have a direct interest in helping support this application. We now help the desktopfolder project to provide translations for the project and we will be working with the maintainer to provide additional capabilities in the future. In terms of packaging I have worked with the maintainer to ensure lintian issues such as code typos, mismatched copyright statements and missing copyright statements on source files. The maintainer has also agreed to sign his tarballs which the package makes use of to provide trust. I have run check-all-the-things and helped resolve source matters in consultation with the maintainer. I have run lintian -i -I --pedantic on the built source. One Information lintian remains - missing autopkgtest. I dont consider it necessary for such a test to be defined. I have built the debian/copyright via "cme update dpkg-copyright" and manually checked that it has built the copyright file correctly. The debian package contains one specific patch to revert two ElementaryOS AppCenter specifics that doesn't make sense in the context of Ubuntu budgie-desktop. This is explained in the dep3 header for the patch. I have discussed this patch with the maintainer and he is content with the approach. Changes since the last upload: * Initial Release (LP: #1809120)
