  • Bug#1103510: RFS: vara/0.1.250414 [ITP] -- Drawing and digital painting

    From Nandakumar Edamana@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 18 13:30:01 2025
    Package: sponsorship-requests
    Severity: wishlist

    Dear mentors,

    I am looking for a sponsor for my package "vara":

    * Package name : vara
    Version : 0.1.250414
    Upstream contact : nandakumar@nandakumar.co.in
    * URL : https://nandakumar.co.in/software/vara/
    * License : GPL-3
    * Section : graphics

    The source builds the following binary packages:

    vara - Drawing and digital painting application

    Vara is already available on Flathub and Ubuntu Snap store, but being it
    part of Debian will help users appreciate its lightweight nature (unless
    they are ready to try out the deb files from the official site).

    The source tarball available on the site is currently missing `make
    install` and any debian/ files. But Vara currently has a proper
    deb-building workflow based on dpkg-buildpackage, so they'll be made
    available in the next version.


    Regards,

    I suppose I cannot, since I'm not a DD. If there is still something I
    can do, please let me know (with reference links if possible).

    Thank you,

    Sorry, just came across [1], which explains uploading to Mentors. The
    RFS HowTo [2] is where I'd landed first, and I really wish it had a link
    to [1] (preferably from the existing text "for example by uploading it
    to this site").

    I will try uploading it to Mentors.
