Bug#497474: ITP: ipager -- netwm compliant pager application



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Moerner <dmoerner@gmail.com>

  Package name    : ipager
  Version         : 1.1.0
  Upstream Author : Sukhanov Vadim <vad@useperl.ru>, Shashkin Konstantin 
<mit3z@archlinux.ru>, Mathias Gumz <akira@fluxbox.org>
  URL             : http://useperl.ru/ipager/index.en.html
  License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : netwm compliant pager application

IPager is a pager originally developed for Fluxbox but it can also be 
used with other window managers.
It supports the following features:
  - Zoom on desktop images
  - Main window transparency
  - Transparent workspaces icons.
  - Theming
  - You can send a window from one workspace to another
  - Application icons

Francois Fevotte originally filed an ITP against ipager 
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=392804)
but later closed it for lack of interest and upstream development.
I believe that ipager should have a place in Debian.  On the Fluxbox 
wiki, ipager is listed as the first pager recommendation, whereas 
fbpager (currently in debian) is deprecated.  Although there has been a 
lack of upstream development, the developers have been willing to 
provide patches through email to fix build errors with newer versions of 
gcc, and the package currently builds fine against sid.
