Before you try to take it over, here's some info for future maintainers: |
11 |
0. you better speak Russian to be able to reach devs =) optional, but VERY beneficial. I can connect you to developer group. |
12 |
|
13 |
1. expect to deal with a lot of bundling, no releases, submodules and all related packaging issues with this approach. |
14 |
|
15 |
2. expect pretty aggressive userbase, very direct, even brutally so. |
16 |
|
17 |
3. expect dependency fights between wayland-only crowd and x11-only crowd. |
18 |
|
19 |
4. same as above but for pulse vs alsa. |
20 |
|
21 |
5. same as above but openssl vs libressl (this one should be easier nowadays as support is going away) |
22 |
|
23 |
6. project is split into 4 repos basically, 1 for app, 1 for webrtc, 1 for cmake files, 1 for audio lib. there are no releases for any except tdesktop itself. |
24 |
|
25 |
7. expect to read a lot of cmake cross-referenced across all those 4 repos. |
26 |
|
27 |
8. expect to be able to patch cmake a lot. for example one can't toggle off automagic deps. |
28 |
|
29 |
9. expect to collaborate with other disto developers, who also work on mentioned tasks. rpmfusion and freebsd guys are very helpful and solve same problems as we do. |

I don't have time to maintain it anymore, so it either should be removed or go into caring hands, as it needs A LOT OF CARE. |
