Hello Andreas,
It is nice to see my request has reached you.
I would gladly say yes to your proposition, but I don't know at the
moment if I will be able to take the necessary time to go over the
process for this workflow, in time, the right way, at the right time
and execute the needed steps.
- I gave a look at the pages you point to in this mail. There are more
than one thing which I am not aware of. (Here:
https://salsa.debian.org/qa/tiny_qa_tools/-/wikis/Tiny-QA-tasks "UDD"?
"VCS"?)
- On the github page, there are errors in the job,
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/obsession/-/jobs
- FabriceT had added a "xdg-autostart" to his creation at the time he
wrote it, which really is redundant with the one already existing in
Openbox.
(IMO we should never modify the Openbox scripts in a distribution in
order for another program to work).
All that would be needed would be to ensure the Openbox package does
have the required python-xdg dependancy, which is really none of
obsession business.
The last time I tried to create a package for the Debian repositories
was several years ago, and due to a hickup from the man you accepted to
be my mentor (he had forgotten to register as mentor on the page of my request), I gave up and switched to a PPA in Ubuntu (which at the time
took me a full month to complete, but who counts?)
How much time can I have ahead to answer your proposition?
Also I would need a mentor : does your sponsorship proposition includes
/ involves, being my mentor?
Best regards,
Joyce

About obsession : it is back inline at FabriceT's Github, as from
today.

I've added this in packaging Git[1].
This is why I believe we should not give up on programs such as
obsession and
openbox-menu. I will certainly not give up on them.
Do you consider this some kind of `wontfix` tag for this bug report?
This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[2] initiative,
which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them
through
the workflow to solve them.
Since we are approaching the freeze I'm hesitating to upload the
status
in Git to unstable. Moreover due to this specific bug its not really
clear whether we should keep or rather remove this package.
If you volunteer to care for this package I can add you to the
members
of this repository and sponsor the package.
Kind regards
Andreas.
