Description : Evernote client for GNU/Linux
Everpad allows to interact with the Evernote service right from your desktop.
It supports notes, tags, notebooks, resources, places and en-* tags.
Evernote does not provide a client for GNU/Linux. Everpad is one of the 3rd party
clients that provide a native client for that service.
It is currently available from a PPA maintained by upstream, but looking at the
number of bug reports of the type [does not start] it feels like the package
could benefit from a greater QA process, which Debian is known for. Also,
packaging it straight into Debian means greater ease of installation for a large
number of users, and would remove the need to add yet-another PPA.
I hope to be able to use the base packaging from the PPA, at least for
inspiration. Building on the shoulders of giants and stuff ;)
I have opened an issue on upstream's GitHub [0] to track the work needed to
properly package Everpad for Debian.
I am open to maintain this package in a team. The most appropriate team would
likely be the Python Applications Packaging Team (PAPT) [1].
As I'm a DM, not yet DD, I will need a sponsor to upload the package.
