[David Mohammed <davidmohammed@gmail.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "magpie":

 * Package name     : magpie
   Version          : 0.9.1-1
   Upstream contact : Budgie Developers <admin@buddiesofbudgie.org>
 * URL              : https://github.com/buddiesofbudgie/magpie
 * License          : DEC-BSD-variant and OpenGroup-BSD-variant and
GPL-2+, GPL-2+ and GPL-3+ and LGPL-2+ and LGPL-2.1+ and Expat and
NTP-BSD-variant and SGI-B-2.0, WRF-BSD-variant, DEC-BSD-variant and
OpenGroup-BSD-variant
 * Vcs              : https://github.com/ubuntubudgie/magpie/tree/debian
   Section          : x11

The source builds the following binary packages:

  magpie - Example window manager and compositor library
  gir1.2-magpie-0 - GObject introspection data for magpie
  libmagpie-0-0 - window manager library from the magpie window manager
  libmagpie-0-dev - Development files for the magpie window manager
  magpie-common - shared files for the magpie window manager

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/magpie/

Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/magpie/magpie_0.9.1-1.dsc

More information:

magpie is based upon the Debian Bookworm version of mutter - it is
tailored for budgie-desktop.

It inherits Debians packaging - primarily its d/copyright.  Other d/*
files have been tailored for magpie.  The binaries reflect its mutter
based history with revised package descriptions.

magpie is part of budgie-desktop's restructuring from its GNOME based
roots to a more independent project structure.  In the future magpie
will evolve into a Wayland only window manager & compositor.  Its
current iteration that forms this RFS is strictly X11.

Assuming this package is acceptable to Debian I (as Debian Maintainer)
will upload a revised budgie-desktop package that utilises magpie to
enable full end-user testing.

Changes since the last upload:

 magpie (0.9.1-1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * Initial Release (Closes: #1040005)
