= Ayatana Packages for Debian =
For what exactly '''Ayatana''' is, [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ayatana | Ubuntu's wiki page]] may be helpful.

One suggestion from IRC: "it's a collection of projects to help applications provide a uniform presentation on the desktop", and apparently an amalgamation of useful bits of Ubuntu's '''Unity''' now that Unity's going away.

The [[https://launchpad.net/ayatana | Ayatana Project]] writes and packages software for Ubuntu. [[https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-ayatana/ | The Ayatana Packagers]] merge this software into Debian.

[[http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-ayatana-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org|Debian QA packages overview page for The Ayatana Packagers]]

The current status of this effort is tracked under [[Ayatana/Packages]].

== SCM/VCS ==
pkg-ayatana uses [[Alioth/Git|Git]] as VCS.

 * Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-ayatana/
 * Vcs-Browser: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-ayatana/

Each package lives in its own Git repository (`pkg-ayatana/<package>.git`) which usually should contain only a master branch with the debian/ folder only. Alternatively, a git-buildpackage based package workflow is also possible / acceptible.
