Bug#902393: ITP: motioneye -- web-based frontend for motion



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Jan-Pascal van Best <janpascal@vanbest.org>

* Package name    : motioneye
  Version         : 0.39.1
  Upstream Author : Calin Crisan <ccrisan@gmail.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: Python, HMTL, JavaScript
  Description     : web-based frontend for motion

 A web frontend for the motion daemon, written in Python:
  - web-based, mobile/tablet-friendly user interface
  - compatible with most USB cameras and the Raspberry PI camera module
  - support for IP (network) cameras
  - motion detection with email notifications and working schedule
  - JPEG files for still images, AVI files for videos
  - timelapse movies
  - uploading media files to Google Drive and Dropbox

This package is present in deb-multimedia. I've enhanced the packaging
in many ways, e.g.
- Update debian/copyright for embedded fonts and JavaScript libraries
- Provide source for minified JavaScript
- Provide source for MavenPro font
- Replace embedded JavaScript with symlinks to existant packages
- Run motioneye as separate user instead of root
- Provide manpage for meyectl

motioneye is a light and practical web front-end to motion. I know of no
other such frontends. I've been using motioneye myself for a while, and
I would prefer the package to be in good shape and in Debian proper.
I am a DM with ample experience, but I will need a sponsor. The package
might be maintained in the Python Apps packaging teams, or maybe in
collaboration with the maintainer of the motion package.

Preliminary packaging is in git:
