  Description     : a TUI display manager

lightweight TUI (ncurses-like) display manager for Linux and BSD.
this package is useful to me because it's a tui display manager instead
of a graphical display manager,
it does not have dependencies for any other packages, I use it,
 emptty  can be considered similar because it's not a graphical display manger however, it's a tui display manager instead of a cli display manager,
 I plan on maintaining it by compiling the latest package,
I would need a need a sponsor

Hi Matt

How is packaging going? Are you familiar with mentors.debian.net ?

I'd like to review your packaging and sponsor it.

Best,
Alex

with mentors.debian.net the thing is that making the package seems to not
work for me, if you can give me help making the package I will be
appreciative. Thank you for wanting to sponsor my package

Hello Alex, hello Matt,

I wanted to share that I have also attempted to build the Ly package in
Debian SID. During the build process, I discovered that the Zig
programming language is required for successful compilation.

However, ziglang itself is currently listed under WNPP:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=995670

Despite this hurdle, I still believe it would be fantastic to have the
Ly package included in the distribution.

Best regards, JK
