I believe this is the list of packages we want to give away: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
gnome-extra/cinnamon |
| 27 |
gnome-extra/cinnamon-control-center |
| 28 |
gnome-extra/cinnamon-desktop |
| 29 |
gnome-extra/cinnamon-menus |
| 30 |
gnome-extra/cinnamon-screensaver |
| 31 |
gnome-extra/cinnamon-session |
| 32 |
gnome-extra/cinnamon-settings-daemon |
| 33 |
gnome-extra/cinnamon-translations |
| 34 |
gnome-extra/cjs |
| 35 |
gnome-extra/nemo |
| 36 |
x11-wm/muffin |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
but there might be more that don't contain "cinnamon" in the name or |
| 39 |
don't have linuxmint as remote-id. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
We keep maintaining all the GNOME packages cinnamon relies on. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
So please just form a project and take em. Hopefully others can help |
| 44 |
too; in GNOME team tetromino has been most involved with them. |
| 45 |
I think it would be fine with us if the project is on paper a |
| 46 |
subproject of GNOME if you want that instead of a top-level project, we |
| 47 |
just don't want to be responsible to it and have us feel guilty with |
| 48 |
bugs of it shown up in our GNOME saved searches, or give an impression |
| 49 |
we are overstaffed which I guess a subproject kinda might do. |
| 50 |
Or a subproject of Desktop, which I see was already deleted with my |
| 51 |
objections for now, so nvm... |
