Bug#637348: +1 Vote for Icecat in Debian
Hi all, I'm currently packaging Gnu Icecat for all major OSs (win,
mac,GNU/Linux). I do offer it for download on codeberg and on a
website. I recently packaged and got it approved (with surprise) by
Microsoft for winget (sort of windows CLI package manager).
Since I'm a Debian user and big fan of GNU/FSF, I wouldn't mind
maintaining this package for Debian.
I usually deliver Tier 1 (Deb, Intel Mac, win64) builds within hours
from Firefox. On the next day the more exotic tier2 with aarch64_WIN
and Apple silicon (requiring crosscompiling).
I'm not sure how to proceed, should I wait for this ITP to expire?
Thanks!
Chip
