This is a great idea and thanks for doing this. Would you consider carrying custom_mwm_badge.png from the Motif Window Manager (mwm) package built from the motif source package in Debian? I will have a look at your package and am able to advocate it, but you'll need one more MOTU to advocate it as well [1]. As it states on that page, submitting packages is the preferred path and seeing you are a Debian Maintainer, it may be quickest too. Regards Graham [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages#Going_through_MOTU -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396851 Title: [needs-packaging] Add package containing Unity Greeter badges Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Currently, only a small number of potential desktops have badges shipped with Unity Greeter. Other desktops are supposed to ship their own [1]. However, some desktop packagers would prefer not to do this. For example, the MATE packagers would prefer to keep the packages the same in Debian and Ubuntu, and therefore would like to avoid an Ubuntu-specific patch like adding a Unity Greeter badge [2]. One solution, which would keep these badges both out of the unity- greeter package and out of the various desktop packages, would be to package the badges available at [3] together in a single package. I am an experienced Debian maintainer and plan to create such a package soon.
