Bug#721575: brackets: changing from ITP to RFP
Hi Lucas,
yep I should done that before. I was doing some work on it during
version 0.43 but
didn't got to the point it was good enough for Debian.
I lack free time but also lost the initial motivation for it.
During that time there where few things I need to notice for future packager
(its not excluded that will be me, but hardly anytime soon):
- it was developed in two separate repos on github (the main code and its
shell)
- to contribute to upstream you would need to sign Adobe License Agreement
(which I will not do).
- package is fairly big so it would better to be in colab-maint repo.
- its now released as stable (there are some minor quirks on Linux but
its okay).
I do recommend this package being part of Debian as it is really great for
web desiginer\developers and it uses modern technics.
Cheers,
zlatan (sorry for somewhat late reply, I rarely log into gmail these days)
