* Package name : xssproxy Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Tim Schumacher <t...@timakro.de> * URL : https://github.com/timakro/xssproxy * License : GPL-3+ Programming Lang: C Description : Forward freedesktop.org Idle Inhibition Service calls to Xss. xssproxy implements the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver D-Bus interface described in the Idle Inhibition Service Draft by the freedesktop.org developers. The inhibition of the screensaver is then controlled using the XScreenSaverSuspend function from the Xss (X11 Screen Saver extension) library. This package is useful when using a lightweight window manager with the X built-in screensaver. For example Firefox uses the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver D-Bus interface to disable the screensaver when playing videos. This package implements this interface and disables the X built-in screensaver in that case. I use this program personally with xmonad, xautolock and slock. All the major full-featured desktop environments like GNOME come with a built-in implementation of the interface. I am new to debian packaging and I will be looking for a sponsor when I gathered some experience with the packaging process.
