<div dir="ltr"><div>Caffeine is a small system tray/appindicator program that allows manual control of the desktop's idle state, allowing the user to prevent screen-blanking, suspend &c. It can also automatically inhibit idleness when particular programs are running:<br>
<br><a href="https://launchpad.net/caffeine">https://launchpad.net/caffeine</a><br><br>It's been quite popular for years with Ubuntu users despite only being available in a PPA. It has been unmaintained for some time, which has provoked articles such as the following:<br>

<br></div><div>For me personally it has overcome various problems with screensaving in GNOME 3 for the past couple of years, being sufficiently useful that I offered to take over maintainership, which I did recently.<br><br>
I have fixed most of the outstanding bugs (including all non-wishlist reproducible bugs), and made a new release. Now I would like to get Caffeine into Debian.<br><br></div><div>Looking down the list of teams, this seems the most suitable. Caffeine is built with (py)Gtk, but it's desktop-neutral.<br>
<br></div><div>Would anyone be interested in being the packager if I submitted a WNPP? I am not a Debian packaging expert, but i have overhauled the packaging for this release, and it is now very simple (thanks to recent improvements in Python packaging, I guess some of those reading this may be responsible, so thanks!).<br>
