Thanks Samuel, such examples were exactly what I was looking for. I will take the 'two branches' approach. Seems that's the cleanest ..
Bug#971524: ITP: briar-gtk -- Desktop and mobile client for Briar p2p messaging
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Nico Alt -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 * Package name: briar-gtk Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : Nico Alt * URL : https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-gtk * License : AGPLv3 Programming Lang: Python Description : Desktop and mobile client for Briar p2p messaging Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance. This package contains the GTK client that uses python3-briar-wrapper to access the REST API exposed by briar-headless. Briar GTK is already packaged according to DFSG, but it depends on briar-headless which can't be build with Debian packages due to Kotlin: https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-gtk/-/tree/main/debian I develop and use Briar GTK myself with support by other core developers of the Briar Project.

Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis.

This package contains the Briar Headless Java/Kotlin core library that's exposing a REST API used by python3-briar-wrapper. Packaging briar-headless in compliance with DFSG currently isn't possible because parts of it are written in Kotlin that isn't packaged yet in Debian. Until it's possible to package briar-headless in compliance with DFSG, my idea was to use official (reproducible) jars provided by the core developers of the Briar Project and publish them as packages in Debian contrib: https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-debian Another potential problem that might occur in future is that Briar needs full access to the Tor process and therefore ships its own Tor binary, i.e. it's copying code.

Invitation to GNUfest 2020 (to Debian Team)
Hi, guys. I sended a message to eve...@debian.org but the members of Debian team the answered my letter told me that i must to send my invitation to this account. I hope you let me resend the message that I sended to give you a whole information in few minutes (sorry for my large letters): Message 1: "Hi. I need to invite the Debian Team to a Free Software Event. The event will have the participation of Richard Stallman and Jon Maddog Hall. I will be waiting for your answer." Message 2: " Topics: The event is conceived to have different topics. There are 2 reasons for this: * That there may be the possibility of showing the great diversity of areas where Free Software is found. * Searching for specific topics would make it too difficult to find the speakers. Location: The issue of location is perhaps not one of such relevance because the event would be held under a simple format of simultaneous playback of pre-recorded videos uploaded to the YouTube channel created for the occasion. At the same time, through Jitsi or Big Blue Button, the speakers could answer questions from the audience. To do this, each speaker should connect at least during the time set for their conference. When I spoke with Maddog, he told me that your team had used the same format in DebConf. Date: Regarding the date, I am waiting for Maddog to receive a response from the LPI Executive Director regarding a time when the event can be promoted to LPI staff and members. I agreed with him that from that information, the date of the event would be established. I know that it is important for you to have accurate data, but the absence of a date for the event would allow you to prepare in advance any conference that you wish do. In addition to the very important information you request, it is also important to have the speakers ready. Therefore, the confirmation of new conferences will contribute to the realization of the event. Last year the event was held on September 26 and 27 (to celebrate GNU's birthday). For this year the initial goal was to cover the event with local speakers. But due to the non-compliance of many of them and the offer made by Maddog to participate, the event was postponed to a more appropriate date, also changing its initial goal to include RMS and other people to form a staff of high-level speakers. . I hope to have your support. In any case, it has been an honor to communicate with you. You, the members of the Debian team, have contributed a lot to Free Software. > And elaborate what your expected answer should be. Right now, I have no more to say. I hope I have met your expectations. Best regards". Message 3: "I am asking lecturers from the Debian Team to a Free Software event called GNUfest. If Debian Team has additional ways to support, excellent. If you have more doubts, please tell me." " Message 4: " >Where are you from? San Cristóbal, Venezuela. >Where this event usually take place? City? Country? The first edition (the unique) was celebrated in San Cristóbal, Venezuela. Would you like to see some photos? >I know it will be online this year, but it's good to know the history of it. The history is very simple: Last year, I wanted to make an event to celebrate the GNU's Birthday. The event was celebrated in september 26 and 27. That edition had lecturers from my city and also we received the visit of a gamers of another city which made a conference about their hobby (games). The event reached a relative success since the organization team only had 3 people (including me) and we worked very much. There was many lectures in several topics: how to get money with Free Software, Darktable, Blender, Python + Electronics, radio, Free Software philosophy (given by me), postgreSQL, etc. This year I received many positive answers from possible lecturers, but very few people made their video. In the previous days to the initial date I wrote to Maddog Hall asking a invitation video made for him (last year RMS made a video like this for us). Maddog surprised me to tell me that he wanted to participate. He sended me a bio about him and propossed me his theme. He also told me many important suggests to reach success in the organization. About that suggests, I must to recognize that I had many work to have the apropriate conditions that he told me: I have to create a team (I had work alone), create a web page and create a Facebook account for the event (I know the Facebook is not representative by Free Software, but I had no more idea to show to the people). I continue working to make the GNUfest, but I want support of another people or institutions (like debian). The Maddog's propposal make think that something important can be reached. If you accepted, and other 2 people accepted, we can make a event that could be saw in many places if the promotion is good. I am tired, but I don't want give up. I don't want waste the opportunity to be with Maddog, RMS, you and another people like you. This the whol
