[Pkg-deepin-devel] Pkg-deepin work progress report, September 2017

[Boyuan Yang]

Dear pkg-deepin members, mentors and debian-chinese-gb list members,

I would like to make a brief report about packaging progress in pkg-deepin 
team as of September 2017. As always, you may find the packaging progress in 
the dependency graph hosted on Alioth. [1]

The following changes were made in last month:

* Package dtksettings got obsoleted upstream, RM request sent to ftp-master
* Package gsettings-qt (Qt binding for GSettings) passed NEW queue and entered 
Unstable
* Package deepin-tool-kit (ITP-ed) got superseded, ITP closed

The progress as a whole is rather slow mainly because dependency libraries are 
blocking most deepin softwares (package gsettings-qt is the dependency at the 
bottom). Also note that the golang conterpart of deepin software is still 
untouched (Deepin software is mainly written in golang and Qt), see [1] for 
detailed information in visual form.

In the following month, our top concern is to push package "dtkwidget" into 
Debian. According to [1], it blocks most of Deepin's Qt softwares. The 
corresponding RFS has been filed and its (build-)dependency is now ready in 
Debian unstable. Please consider sponsoring this package if you find 
appropriate. [2] Another package called dde-qt-dbus-factory [4] is also on the 
TODO list yet the source code it bundles (taken from Qt project, modified 
downstream) made the situation a little bit complicated.

Meanwhile, I would sincerely invite anyone good at Go packaging and interested 
in Deepin / DDE (Deepin Desktop Environment) to help dealing with Deepin's 
software written in Go. Please consider joining pkg-deepin team [3] and/or 
packaging golang dependencies needed. A list of dependencies can be found on 
[1]. Your help would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Boyuan Yang
