Bug#1040005: ITP:magpie - window manager for the budgie desktop

[David Mohammed <davidmohammed@gmail.com>]

Hi Simon

Yes, ftp master had concerns over the copyright file in the package.

I have revised this a while back and uploaded to mentors.

Unfortunately my current magpie mentor hasn't had time to rereview the copyright changes and thus re-sponsor the package. 

I am ever hopeful with finding some help here.

Thanks

David

I saw that this was in the NEW queue for a while, but then disappeared.
Did the ftp team have concerns about it?

Because budgie-desktop-environment currently depends on libmutter 43/44,
and future versions want to move to libmagpie rather than mutter 45,
getting this package into unstable is a blocker for being able to
finish getting GNOME 45 into unstable.
