The question was not discussed yet as far as I know because perhaps
nobody knows this program. At least this is true for me.
General rule to get something into Debian (I think I should write a FAQ
for this list:
- If there is some interest in a program which should be packaged
this interest has to be announced first.
- Two cases:
1. Request For Packaging (RFP)
if you just want to ask other developers to care for a package
2. Intent To Package (ITP)
if you want to build the package yourself
You can build the package even if you are not a Debian developer
but you have to find a sponsor
This is explained very detailed in the "New Maintainers Guide"
which you should read in any case before starting to build
Debian packages
- One way:
Use reportbug to announce your RFP / ITP
~> su
~# apt-get install reportbug
~> exit
~> reportbug
...
[file the bug against the package named 'wnpp']
wnpp means: Work Needing and Prospective Packages
- make sure you include at least upstream URL and license of the
program in the formular if you do not want to get flamed by
developers from the debian-devel list

You do not have to :( . Everybody is or at least was (up to a certainin
point of his life) in the position never to have debianized anything ;-).
> or there is some problem of license or other ?
If you would tell us the URL we would not have to ask Google and would
make sure that we talk about the same thing.
In general I would really lilke to include useful stuff into Debian.
Regarding to your remarks it would fit well into med-imaging.
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: If you intend building Debian packages please make sure that the
problem with your shift-key will be fixed, because we follow the usual
orthographic rules in package descriptions, readmes etc. ;-)
