[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Place tigervnc under the umbrella of the new Debian Remote Maintainers team

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi all,

members of the Debian Edu team (esp. Dominik George and me) have set a  
new team on Alioth addressing all aspects for remote (graphical) work  
on Debian systems.

These days, too much focus is put on hardware oriented graphical  
rendering (Wayland, Mir, client-side compisiting, compositing effects  
in desktop environments, mail clients that require OpenGL, etc.).  
Several of those recent techniques and software being optimized for  
them make it hard for people who want to use such software / desktop  
environments over remote connections.

We feel that Debian needs a task force that is aware of remote  
graphical work and that makes sure desktop software in Debian is  
capable of being used from remote. Thus, we set up this new Debian  
Remote Maintainers team.

Instead of maintainers working on their "remote" software package by  
themselves or in a small team, I'd like to propose bundling forces and  
expertise under a greater umbrella. I think that tigervnc is a proper  
candidate for this team, too.


What do you think?

Mike


PS: Software already in the team context:

   xrdp
   guacomole (not-yet-uploaded)
   x2goclient

PPS: Software to be migrated to the team:

   all X2Go components (incl. NXv3, soon to be uploaded)
   freerdp(2)


PPPS: Future packages:

   all Arctica Project components (for Debian 10)
