Bug#967030: ITP: cockpit-podman -- Cockpit component for Podman containers

[Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>

* Package name    : cockpit-podman
  Version         : 20
  Upstream Author : Cockpit development team <cockpit-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org>
* URL             : https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-podman/
* License         : LGPL-2.1+
  Description     :
   The Cockpit Web Console enables users to administer GNU/Linux servers using a
   web browser.
   .
   This package adds an user interface for Podman containers.

podman itself finally made it to testing [1], so I recently added some Debian
packaging upstream [2], and started testing it in CI.  As soon as conmon gets
updated to a recent version [3] (the one in unstable does not work with
podman), cockpit-podman will be fully functioning [4] and get first-class
support/CI in upstream.

Dmitry, Reinhard, I'd be very happy to team-maintain this if you are
interested. I don't like single-maintainer packages :) I can take the primary
responsibility of keeping the code alive with both upstream code changes and
changes in Debian, and packaging new upstream releases. But you may also be
interested in that project?

Thanks,

Martin

    cockpit-podman with conmon 2.0.18, and it now works perfectly \o/
