* Package name : dragon Version : 1.1.0 Upstream Author : Michael Homer * URL : https://github.com/mwh/dragon * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Drag and drop source/target for X Many programs, particularly web applications, expect files to be dragged into them now. If you don't habitually use a file manager that is a problem. dragon is a lightweight drag-and-drop source for X where you can run: `dragon file.tar.gz` to get a window with just that file in it, ready to be dragged where you need it. ----- Hello Debian maintainers, I stumbled upon this program after finding a need to drag-and-drop a file into Mozilla Firefox from my Debian installation without a file manager. - The program itself is a single file of C, with a single dependency on GTK 3. It does not receive much updates at all, but upstream is still aware of it, having added a small update 11 days before time of writing. I successfully compiled the program on first try in Debian stretch, with gcc 4:6.3.904 and libgtk-3-dev 3.22.11-1. - I would prefer another maintainer maintain this, as I have no experience working with GTK, but I would not mind maintaining it, as it is a small package, and I'd like to gain some experience being a Debian maintainer. - There is a package with similar (greater, rather) functionality, named 'dragbox'. It was available only in jessie, having been dropped in stretch seemingly without notice (The only critical bug, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=475448 , was fixed). - I have not contacted the upstream author before filing this. If this moves forward, I will contact them for their permission, etc.
