Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 src:unclutter-xfixes

I hereby orphan the unclutter-xfixes package. I have been using
exclusively Wayland for more than a year, so don't use this anymore.

The package description is:
unclutter-xfixes is a rewrite of the popular tool unclutter, but
using the x11-xfixes extension. It has fewer bugs when used with
modern applications and window managers.

Hi,

Thanks for your work on the unclutter-xfixes package. I intend to adopt
it, and work on getting the new upstream release into bookworm.

You will be able to track my progress at:
https://salsa.debian.org/skangas/unclutter-xfixes

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

Thanks for reaching out.

I'm still working on it. I have run into a boring problem where my
packages are building correctly, but no longer being signed for some
reason. I think I accidentally broke something related to cowbuilder,
or something like that. As soon as I can fix it, I will upload the new
package to mentors.d.n.

I'm aware of the freeze and should be ready well in advance.

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay. I've used the new package for a couple of days,
and everything seems to be working, so I'd say that yes, it is ready.

Here's the git link again, for your convenience:

https://salsa.debian.org/skangas/unclutter-xfixes

Thanks again for sponsoring this package.

I've pushed your signed tag, and invited you to the salsa repository.

I'm probably missing something, but they seem correct to me:

Vcs-Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/skangas/hashcash
Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/skangas/hashcash.git -b debian/latest

Wow, not sure how I missed that. Now fixed, thanks.
