Bug#1117470: ITP: skia -- 2D graphics library
Package: wnpp
Owner: Filip Strömbäck <filip@fprg.se>
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org
* Package name : skia
Version : 141
* URL : https://skia.org/
* License : BSD-3-clause
Programming Lang: C++
Description : 2D graphics library
Skia is an open source 2D graphics library that provides common APIs for
hardware accelerated rendering across a variety of hardware and software
platforms. It is the graphics engine of Chromium and Firefox for example.
There was a previous ITP for skia (#818180, [1]) submitted in 2016 by
Tobias Hansen, which was archived in 2019. When I was initially working
on packaging storm-lang in 2021, I reached out and asked if the ITP was
still being worked on, and Tobias answered that the application
mentioned in the ITP (aseprite) would stop being open, and the ITP was
therefore no longer relevant.
The package is a dependency of storm-lang (which I maintain) for
hardware accelerated rendering. I plan to maintain Skia along with
storm-lang. Gunnar Wolf has agreed to sponsor the initial upload (I am a
DM). Packaging is available in Salsa [2] along with a patch to
storm-lang [3] that uses the Skia packaging.
