I really love this idea, is anyone doing a follow-up on this? do you know
where we are? Is there any way to help the development of a Debian package
for Notepadqq?

A lot of independent people decided to create a Notepadqq package for their
distribution, but there is none for Debian, though.

Thank you,
Best regards.

As far as I can see, it's still an RFP. There is a debian packaging guide at
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html

There is also a #debian-mentors channel on OFTC . See oftc.net

I am not aware if somebody made an attempt and even if they did it
probably doesn't gel with the ways things are.

I filed the bug in 2014, somebody shared in 2016 and now we are in
2018. Almost everything has changed between then and now.

When I had asked, it was a baby as in notepadqq 0.20 and now it's
matured at 1.4 . Both the build-dependencies and runtime-dependencies
are in Debian.

https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq/blob/master/README.md

If you do the packaging then Debian, debian-derivatives and even
Ubuntu benefits from it as it's a downstream distribution. There is
possibility that whoever is running the Ubuntu officialrepo. i.e.
https://launchpad.net/~notepadqq-team/+archive/ubuntu/notepadqq
might be helpful although it is possible they might be going it via
the snap way.

Also Debian used to use alioth for staging, now it has moved to using
salsa.debian.org (A gitlab instance.)

While I don't know or do any packaging, I would gladly test out if you
make any packages.

I do hope you succeed in the endevour and we have a new editor in our
mix. As shared I'll help in whatever little way I can.
