Bug#826974: RFS: moka-icon-theme/5.3.2-1 ITP



Package: sponsorship-requests
  Severity: wishlist

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "moka-icon-theme"

 * Package name    : moka-icon-theme
   Version         : 5.3.2-1
   Upstream Author : Sam Hewitt <sam@snwh.org>
 * URL             : github.com/moka-project/moka-icon-theme
 * License         : GPL-3+/CC-BY-SA-4.0
   Section         : misc

  It builds those binary packages:

    moka-icon-theme - Moka Icon Theme

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

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/moka-icon-theme


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

    dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/moka-icon-theme/moka-icon-theme_5.3.2-1.dsc


Notes:

I am the maintainer of a Ubuntu based distro called budgie-remix which
uses moka-icon-theme as its key icon theme - hence why I'm excited to maintain this package for the wider
Debian community. budgie-remix uses the new desktop environment called budgie-desktop which I have also packaged here

- https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2016/05/msg00551.html

moka-icon-theme is a highly popular icon theme used by several distros.  It is installed currently
by Ubuntu users through the upstream maintainer PPA repository or via manual compilation.

I'm providing this package to allow all Debian users and Debian derivatives a native 
package rather than depending upon a third-party Ubuntu only repo.

I've asked the question here as to whether upstream will sign future tag releases:

- https://github.com/moka-project/moka-icon-theme/issues/232

The upstream maintainer has indicated that they do not wish to GPG sign releases.

 Regards,

David Mohammed
