Hello All. I am working on the OpenCPN package: http://bugs.debian.org/538067 http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-grass/packages/opencpn/trunk/debian/ http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f134/opencpn-build-on-debian-35977-7.html and should approach the following problem: OpenCPN has harmonoics data shipped in raw ascii form data/tcdata/HARMONIC (a kind of source code) and also in indexed form data/tcdata/HARMONIC.IDX by using Tide2idx that is a part of Windows only WXTide32 program, though open source one. The Debian already has tide data available as part of xtide-data and xtide-data-nonfree packages, but it is there in compiled binary format TCD. This is done by software in tcd-utils package that has utils for both converting raw ascii source to TCD form and back from TCD form to raw ascii source. But OpenCPN package needs the indexed file produced by Tide2idx program and cannot understand TCD format. Thus, I need to package the indexed form due to the format differences, but will create a kind of duplicate data since same data already exists but just in different format. Does it sound right? Ideally I would consider have some package with raw source data that is than converted to whatever form is appropriate form during the build? Any thoughts are welcomed. -- Anton Martchukov http://www.martchukov.com 0xFC4FBF28 96BC 3DAB 231A 7FCC 4F49 D783 9A69 65C1 FC4F BF28
