Bug#722203: RFP: Kids' Media Player - an audio and video player designed especially for children



Thank you. I have, but I'm writing the code, packaging the rpms and trying to get it into opensuse as well. I don't run debian, but I do run opensuse and kubuntu. I created a deb in ubuntu if it helps: https://m.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropbox.com%2Fs%2Fwxnp050qot4fgen%2Fkmp_1.1_all.deb&h=uAQHe52rA&s=1

Hi Michael,

Have you considered packaging it yourself? You can ask for advice and
look for a sponsor on http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors

Full quote below for the benefit of debian-devel.

Kind regards,
Andrei
