Bug#1021364: RFS: ghostwriter/2.2.0-1 [RC] -- Distraction-free, themeable Markdown editor

[Sebastien Chavaux]

Hello Aurelien :-)

For the integration of Ghostwriter in the scope of the Qt/KDE packaging
team, I agree, no worries, I also had the case at openSUSE and I'm looking
how I could in the following days, pass all that on to Debian as well.

As for gitlab, I have trouble communicating with it, I can't even do that
from my terminal anymore, I have a legal problem, so I do everything from
the risky web interface. I more or less gave up on the git business. But I
will give you the rights.

I haven't worked with the repository long enough, I work directly from home
and a folder. I would like to help in other packages but again I stumble on
the use of gitlab.

I'll try to free up time to make the changes but it's not said. I don't
have any Debian around right now.

Best regards.

> - The source-is-missing lintian tags are false positives to me (if lintian
> still really emits them, I haven’t checked). The folders
> 3rdparty/{MathJax,react} contain valid, human modifiable source files.
> Please add a comment in the lintian-overrides file to explain so.

> Debian.
> - I would prefer the +ds suffix instead of +dfsg, +dfsg is more
> appropriate for cases where we remove upstream sources due to licensing
> concerns which is not the case here IIUC.

> something), and…
> - it would be preferable for debian/watch to target the invent.kde.org
> repo which is now the reference repo, you have examples for GitLab tags
> here [2].

> « debian » folder, it should be *inside* it.
