Hi,

Qtile[1] is « a full-featured, hackable tiling window manager written
and configured in Python ». I am using it on Debian for few years thanks
to the initial work of Iain R. Learmonth - who has retired from the
Debian project as of now. It has been a little while since I would like
to contribute to this package, but I take the opportunity of Bullseye
release to do it!

Does anybody plan to work on it, or is using it? I would prefer to not
maintaining it alone. I will open an ITP bug and work on the packaging
in order to push it to Salsa and ask some review. I am only maintaining
one package as of now - written in C++ with Qt - so any sponsoring would
be welcome if someone has some time!

Qtile also depends on xcffib which needs to be updated. I can adopt this
package too. Again, if anybody plan to work on it, or is working on a
package which depends on it, feel free to tell.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Jérôme

Hello,

In the absence of a reply, I have worked on xcffib package to update it
to the last upstream release as well as Debian standards. I intend to
adopt it[1] but I am looking for a sponsor - or moving this package to
DPT? - in order to upload it. Does anybody here have time for that
please? And any review is welcome, here is the current repository:

https://salsa.debian.org/jlebleu/xcffib

Thanks in advance,

Jérôme

Moved to DPT and uploaded as well. I pushed some changes though, do consider taking a look at them.
Thank you very much for working on it and adopting the same. :-)

Regards,
Nilesh
