Bug#942313: RFS: codelite [QA] -- Powerful and lightweight IDE
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for an update of the orphaned package "codelite"
* Package name : codelite
Version : 13.0+dfsg-1
Upstream Author : eranif <eran.ifrah@gmail.com>
* URL : https://codelite.org
* License : GPL2+
Section : devel
It builds these binary packages:
codelite -- Powerful and lightweight IDE
codelite-plugins -- Powerful and lightweight IDE - plugins
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/codelite
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/codelite/codelite_13.0+dfsg-1.dsc
There is also a git repo:
https://github.com/dghart/debian-salsa-codelite-clone
which is a clone of
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/codelite
to which afaict I can't upload.
Codelite depends on the wxWidgets toolkit. wxWidgets wraps GTK+, and is soon to switch to
using GTK+3; see #934096 . One of codelite's dependencies, wxsqlite3, now has a
Build-Conflicts for the GTK+2 wxWidgets and also Breaks codelite; see #940540 . Because of
this, codelite will imminently be removed from testing.
The current upload depends on the GTK+3 wxWidgets and so fixes these bugs. It also updates
to the latest upstream version, codelite 13.0.
This is a request for a review and upload of the update. The amended package
builds and works, and has no significant lintian issues.
Changes since the last upload:
codelite (13.0+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* QA upload.
* New upstream release:
- Add new and missing plugins to codelite-plugins.
- Refresh patches.
- Patch out two nonfree-licenced svgs.
* debian/control:
- Build against the GTK+3 version of wxWidgets (Closes: #934096, #940540).
- Bump standards to 4.4.1 and remove debian/compat.
Regards,
David Hart
