Bug#695574: TAG: tilda -- A Gtk based drop down terminal for Linux and Unix
Package: wnpp
Severity: standard
Hi,
I am currently maintaining the tilda source code. The original author
does not intend to continue working on it, but I am in touch with him.
The old package has not been maintained since about three years and
besides a few known bugs it is only for GTK+2, I have ported tilda to
GTK+3, and added some features and fixed some bugs.
Besides the point that there is a new version available, there is
another thing. I have tried to contact the current maintainers of tilda
in Debian, and it seems that they are both not maintaining the package
anymore. Since I have currently no experience in packaging I would like
to request a mentor that can help me package the new tilda version and
get it into Debian.
The source can be found here:
https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda (GTK+3, maintained, up to date)
https://github.com/tsloughter/tilda (GTK+2, unmaintained, working but
with known bugs)
If there is any desire to keep a GTK+2 version, then I could possibly
fix a few known bugs in the GTK+2 branch, but for now it would be nice
to get the GTK+3 version into Debian.
It would be very nice to find someone with packaging experience who can
create a new package for tilda and upload it to Debian stable.
Kind Regards
Lanoxx
