Hello my name is Hermann and I'm an innovator.

I have developed a program that makes it easier to work in the terminal.
I have published it here:
https://openage.org/gg/

Would Debian be interested in including GG in the Debian system?

Kind regards,
Hermann,
Iceland

To be honest I couldn't understand from this page what does this software actually do except for displaying the folder contents, for which you could
just use a much more featureful file navigator like mc (or, if one likes
toys and vim integration, run `vim .`).

Would Debian be interested in including GG in the Debian system?

Debian cannot include it until it has a license (and a DFSG-free one).
But I also doubt Debian will benefit from including his software.

Debian cannot include it until it has a license (and a DFSG-free one).

That being said (I agree), there needs to be a Debian Developer or a
Debian Maintainer who would be willing to do the packaging, take care of
bug reports etc. Best method would be to file a wishlist RFP (Request
for Package) with the wnpp (Work Needing and Prospective Packages) pseudopackage in our BTS.

Greetings
Marc

P.S.: While I agree that this is an attempt of an Upstream to plug his software, which I find legitimate, I would not call this a Spam mail.

I think it is not so simple to understand what that software can do,
probably it is better that Hermann create some examples that show what

But I also doubt Debian will benefit from including his software.

If I don't mistake the software don't have a copyright statement and a

If this is correct the software cannot be used by anyone without a
written permission signed by the copyright owner.

I suggest to Hermann to search for a license to use and then to compile
a correct "use" of that license (== Copyright + license).

You can find an useful introduction on how to do that here, also if you
don't select the GPL license:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

I would like to suggest to use always the AGPL license, this one is the
only license that I know that let protect your free software on any
actual usage type.

After you have done that and you have select a license that is
"compatible" with Debian you can do:

1) ask is someone in Debian (a DD = Debian Developer) or someone else
can create a package for this software and maintain it.

for doing that you can fill a bug report in the wnpp pseudo-package
you can see here the wnpp filled actually https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=wnpp

I would warn you that this is not a good choice, because probably you
don't will find anyone that will do that.

2) package your software yourself and do the maintenance work. You must
find a mentor that tell you what, eventually, you have make in the wrong
way and help you solve problems. And also a DD: someone (that can be the
same person above) that can publish the package in the Debian repository
for you

I think that in future some player will let you have all your software
on-line. You will need to have only a thin-client-like that let you to
access the "cloud" and you will have all here.
So every thing that have an user interface can be protected with the
AGPL and not let the "cloud provider" to do everything he would like
with your software without giving back nothing.

I think that this scenario can be very dangerous for free software and
the only way to protect you software is to use the AGPL also for things
that have not a user interface, as a library.

In this scenario nearly all the software can be not free software and
"they" can use free software to build not free software products
legally... except if you use AGPL.

Also in this scenario all the free software can be less interoperable
and less usable to do things, it is very simple to do that.
For example look at Firefox. I see a "war" against Firefox from a lot of players that not let their software working correctly or fully working
on Firefox (see, for example, a lot of videoconferencing software). This obligate a lot of user to use other browser and this is the first step
for take away users from Firefox.
You can say that there is Chromium, but also Chromium not always work correctly... without some proprietary parts that are in Chrome, Edge, ...
Note also that there are pressure to Mozilla to build Firefox on Chromium...

thank you for the feedback. its very useful.

if i make a bug report.. but this is not a bug. this is a program that im trying to promote.

You can submit an RFP bug to the wnpp pseudopackage but that won't
guarantee anything. Also, we don't package software without a license
anyway.

Exactly.
Debian is not a place to promote your programs.

Exactly.
Debian is not a place to promote your programs.

Uhm, what are RFP bugs if not exactly a way for someone to promote the existence of code projects they consider relevant to get into Debian?

Hi Hermann,

hey did i miss any emails?
sorry for the delayed response, i had to take care of things.
im not sure how to subscribe to this email list.

I CC-ed you then. That said, if you want to subscribe, check this page: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/

i have updated the website to describe right at the start, what this
program actually does.
and now there is a copyright disclaimer in the .bin.
openage.org/gg <http://openage.org/gg>

thank you for the feedback. its very useful.

im not quite sure how to ask someone to create a package for this
project in debian.
if i make a bug report.. but this is not a bug. this is a program that
im trying to promote.

Should i send an email to [email protected] <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=wnpp%40debian.org>
?

You can make an RFP bug. Every request (even "it'd be nice to do this")
is handled by Debian BTS, so we call all these bugs as well.

Indeed, the pseudopackage used for non-yet-existing package is WNPP, so
you can use this, but if you have a Debian system handy, the best and
easiest way to report a bug is the reportbug program:

https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l1

It will help you making sure your message includes everything needed
(even if you send it as email with a separate program afterward instead
of sending it with reportbug directly).

Cheers,

The main purpose of RFP bugs is to collect dust.
Also, they are created from stale ITP bugs by Bart's scripts.
And as far as RFP bugs are useful for finding software to package, I feel
like ones about software that someone finds useful but lacks the skills to package it are much more useful than ones created by software authors.
