Re: GeographicLib 2.0

[Antonio Valentino <antonio.valentino@tiscali.it>]

Dear Bas,
I have almost completed the packaging of geographiclib-python 2.0.
Sorry, I'm quite busy in this period and I will still need few days to 
finalize.
Now I need a repository in salsa.
I think that I can create it myself through the GitLab Web UI.
I was just wondering if there is some specific initialization step I'm 
not aware of.
In case could you please point me to the relevant documentation?


Cheers
antonio
