Package available (was Re: Micro Manager)
Resurecting a very old thread.
I have started packaging micromanager, see it live at:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/micromanager
This is unfinished work, as the copyright check is far from being
done. Almost every single file has a different licensing term (when
one is found).
For some reason the MMCoreJ.jar does not contains the main class. I am
looking for feedback and possibly help to finish this package.
Thanks for your interest
