thanks

Dear mentors,

	I am looking for a sponsor for my package "cinnamon" for experimental.
This is the desktop environment developed by the Linux Mint team which
is basically a fork of gnome-shell in order to have the feeling of
GNOME2 while having the modern infrastructure of GNOME3. This package
requires its window manager called muffin (that needs to be sponsored as
well. see muffin ITP:http://bugs.debian.org/661270
                           muffin RFS:http://bugs.debian.org/680544)

	I previously made a sponsorship request concerning an earlier version
of cinnamon but it was in the middle of summer so many sponsor were on
vacation. I hope to be more successful now and that cinnamon will be
uploaded to experimental soon. It has indeed showed quite a lot of
interest from various people.

  * Package name    : cinnamon
    Version         : 1.6.1-1
    Upstream Author : Linux Mint<root@linuxmint.com>
  * URL             :http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com
  * License         : GPL-2+
    Section         : x11

It builds those binary packages:

cinnamon   - Innovative and comfortable desktop
cinnamon-common - Innovative and comfortable desktop (Common data files)
cinnamon-dbg - Innovative and comfortable desktop (Debugging symbols)

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

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

dget -x

Hi,

Your packaging git is on Github, any reason why you don't use Alioth instead?
I've tried it (currently running it on my Wheezy laptop), and I like it! :)

Did you take the packaging work directly from Mint? What exactly did you
change from them?

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
