adding Timekpr-nExT into Debian (edu?)

[Zeev Pekar]

The author of Timekpr-nExT is also the Ubuntu maintainer. His name is
Eduards Bezverhijs and his email: edzis at inbox.lv (CCed).

Eduards, would you like to cooperate with Debian guys to get
Timekpr-nExT packaged for Debian? This way you'll get massive exposure
in BOTH - Debian AND Ubuntu communities. Ubuntu people will not have to
use your private PPA any longer, but rather get Timekpr-nExT directly
from the Ubuntu repo.

I was looking for years for an effective program that can limit the time
kids spend on computer. And there is absolutely nothing like this within
59000 current Debian packages. I'm sure thousands of teachers/parents
worldwide are desperately looking for something like this. Arguing with
children each time you want them to stop using computer is too
exhausting...

I have not created a RFP request yet... let's see what Eduards will have
to say on all this.

Thank you very much!
Zeev

PS:

the PPA
https://launchpad.net/~mjasnik/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
contains several older versions of timekpr... what is needed is the
newest, called - timekpr-next
