Hi Drew, > Ruben, what is the state of your packaging? Is it ready for upload or > would you be more comfortable if I did some fresh packaging myself? There is a prospective package on mentors [1]. I have done some tests and it seems to work fine, but I still have some piuparts problems. [1] http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gerris/ The source was repackaged to exclude the modules/ directory, because there are some licence/copyright issues (a previous package including modules/ was rejected by ftp-masters). I was unable to contact RStarTree module upstream, but FES2004 upstream was contacted about licence/copyright clarifications, and he ask me for some time to discuss it with other authors... feel free to ping him :) I confirmed with gerris upstream, and this modules aren't essential, so I prepared a get-orig-source rule. $ dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gerris/gerris_0.9.2 +darcs081022~dfsg-1.dsc $ dpkg-source -x gerris_0.9.2+darcs081022~dfsg-1.dsc $ cd gerris-0.9.2+darcs081022~dfsg/ $ fakeroot debian/rules get-orig-source $ mv gerris_0.9.2+darcs081202~dfsg1.orig.tar.gz .. && cd .. $ tar zxvf gerris_0.9.2+darcs081202~dfsg1.orig.tar.gz $ cp -r gerris-0.9.2+darcs081022~dfsg/debian/ gerris-0.9.2+darcs081202~dfsg1/ $ cd gerris-0.9.2+darcs081202~dfsg1/ $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sa A lot of work is already done, but there are still some TODOs... Please check my current package before trying a fresh one. Current status: * Missing manpage for ppm2theora tool recently added (I haven't tested it yet) * There are some shlib-calls-exit issues reported by lintian -X * I combined the 3 libraries into one package, so package name doesn't matchs sonames. An override was added, but I still not sure about this split schema. * Some piuparts problems. * I haven't checked all the tests included, just some of them. > I'd also like to register it under the auspices of the Debian Science > team, if everyone's happy with that. (Got a few packages of my own to Completely agree. Please feel free to prepare a git/svn repo for gerris on debian-science and we can work together on it :) Thanks a lot, Ruben
