Bug#987794: RFS: budgie-screensaver/4.0-1 [ITP] -- Screensaver and screen lock for the Budgie Desktop

[David Mohammed <davidmohammed@gmail.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-screensaver":

 * Package name    : budgie-screensaver
   Version         : 4.0-1
   Upstream Author : Josh Strobl <joshua@streambits.io>
 * URL             : https://gibhub.com/getsolus/budgie-screensaver
 * License         : GPL-2+, GPL-2, MIT~oldstyle
 * Vcs             :
https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-screensaver/tree/debian
   Section         : misc

It builds those binary packages:

  budgie-screensaver - Screensaver and screen lock for the Budgie Desktop

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

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-screensaver/

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-screensaver/budgie-screensaver_4.0-1.dsc

Notes:
I am the Debian Maintainer of budgie-desktop & budgie-extras (plus
several other packages).  These packages are currently in Testing & Stable.

Recently the Solus Project who are the upstream of budgie-desktop
released v10.5.3 of budgie-desktop.  This now forces a new
dependency for their project called budgie-screensaver which provides
a lock-screen support for the budgie-desktop.  Upstream has marked
this as
"stable"

Previously budgie-desktop used gnome-screensaver.  This project is no
longer maintained.  Key to this new release is support for GNOME 40 changes that
prevents Budgie and GNOME-Shell co-existing.  This is the key reason
upstream state for
using their fork of gnome-screensaver.

Implementation will be three fold:
1. upload of this package if acceptable to Debian Experimental and
2. once uploaded, upload budgie-desktop v10.5.3 to Experimental that
add budgie-screensaver
as a dependency.   I will handle this latter implementation myself
via my current maintainer rights.
3. Reupload budgie-desktop once GNOME 40 packages are uploaded to Experimental

I have spot checked various source files to ensure they have the licenses
stated in debian/copyright - this copyright file was generated via
cme update copyright and then tidied up manually.

I have sbuild this package against both unstable and
unstable+experimental and all information &
warning lintian issues have been resolved.

In addition to sponsoring this project - if appropriate I would like
to continue maintainership of this package
(assuming that it is acceptable to Debian) in a similar manner as my
current maintainership packages (dak fossfreedom@ubuntu.com)


Changes for the initial release:

 budgie-screensaver (4.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * Initial release (Closes: #987733)
