Hi, here is my intermediate result. Wbar and Wbar-config seem to work, no show-stoppers so far. I need to contact upstream to question them about the actual Copyright License. It is either GPL-2 oder GPL-3. I'll make the e-mail publicly available. You can download the source package from my private ftp server. dget -x ftp://46.182.19.209/debian/wbar/wbar_2.3.0+svn20120816+dfsg2-1.dsc i386-binary: ftp://46.182.19.209/debian/wbar/wbar_2.3.0+svn20120816+dfsg2-1_i386.deb amd64-binary: ftp://46.182.19.209/debian/wbar/wbar_2.3.0+svn20120816+dfsg2-1_amd64.deb Changelog: * New Maintainer (Closes: #678865) - Thanks Krzysztof for the past work and all the best! * New upstream release. (Closes: #617902) - Now the configuration can be done in /etc/wbar.d/wbar.cfg (global) or ~/.wbar (per user). * Initial release of wbar-config. (Closes: #540701) - Wbar-config is an optional GUI tool to customize wbar and is now included in the upstream sources. * Switched to the new packaging format 3.0 (quilt). Thanks to Yadickson Soto for the initial packaging work and Jari Aalto for the patch. (Closes: #661034) * debian/rules: - Switched to dh with bash-completion and autoreconf to rebuild the build system before compile time and to clean all auto-generated files. - Built with hardening=+all flags to provide more built-in security. - Built with DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND=-Wl,--as-needed to install only dependencies which we really need. Thanks Matthias Klose for the hint! (Closes: #641331) * debian/control: - New Build-Depends: intltool, pkg-config, libglade2-dev, libgtk2.0-dev, libx11-dev, bash-completion, dh-autoreconf, debhelper (>=9) * Now all former recommended packages are only suggested: - gnome-extra-icons: no longer necessary because wbar ships its own free icons. - wbar-config: it is possible to customize wbar without wbar-config but on the other hand it would not make any sense to install wbar-config without wbar. Thus the exact binary version of wbar is an absolute dependency of wbar-config. - ttf-dustin: removed because upstream does not install fonts per default anymore. You can still easily pick a font of your choice with wbar-config. See also README.Debian and man wbar-config(1). (Closes: #575087) - bash-completion: wbar provides its own bash-completion snippet which makes it possible to complete wbar options on the command line. Recommended for users of Bash but to be considerate of others who appreciate different shells (e.g. zsh) lowered to "Suggests". * Switched to compat level 9 to profit from automatic hardening build flags. * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.3. * Improved the package description and fixed various typos and spelling errors in wbar-config and the man page and credited the original author of wbar again. * Installed wbar.desktop in /usr/share/applications instead of /etc/wbar.d/ and removed the limitation to make it visible only in Gnome and Xfce. * Now the default icon size is 64 to increase visibility. You can revert this change with the --isize option in .wbar or with wbar-config.
