Description : MIDI piano practice application with editable 3D stages
Linthesia - Studio is a free-software, community-driven fork of the
original Linthesia piano learning game. It offers MIDI file playback,
an 88-key virtual keyboard, hand-focused practice, FluidSynth/SoundFont
instruments, falling notes, piano roll, configurable 3D stage
visualisations, and video export.
The community would welcome the package in Debian, but the originator
of this fork is not volunteering to be the Debian package maintainer.
We are expressly requesting that a Debian volunteer or team consider
taking on packaging and ongoing maintenance. This is an RFP, not an
Intent To Package (ITP), and no maintenance obligation is being assumed
by the submitter.
An initial Debian source package is already available in the v1.0.0
release above, including a .dsc and a Debian 13 amd64 build.
The Debian-specific source is repacked as 1.0.0+dfsg1 and deliberately
excludes 172 historical MIDI files for which redistribution rights have
not been established. There are separate architecture-dependent
executable and architecture-independent data binary packages.
Initial engineering checks: 151/151 upstream tests passed in a
development release build, the Debian 13 package built in a clean
sbuild environment, and lintian reported no errors (remaining
initial-upload warnings are noted). These checks do NOT constitute
approval for the Debian archive.
Before a sponsored Debian upload, a prospective maintainer should
complete the copyright/DFSG audit of the Blender 3D artwork,
textures and other third-party assets; verify author attribution;
update the Debian Maintainer field to a reachable willing maintainer;
and address any remaining Debian Policy or NEW-queue concerns.
The existing packaging and community contribution instructions are
freely available on GitHub.
The project is open to contributions and volunteer maintenance:

Thank you for considering this package request.
