Re: [DebianGIS] Specific packages for SAR and earth observation
Hi Antonio,
I have to admit I have real problems to read your mails. Your line breaking
is quite confusing and I hope I did not missed something in your response.

I have no idea what might make a licensing "expert". For the moment it
might be sufficient to detect those programs with a clear license from
the well known set in /usr/share/common-licenses. It would be good if
you could inspect the sources of the programs you proposed to include
for such licenses.

I injected three examples into
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/blends/projects/gis/trunk/debian-gis/tasks/sar
with all the information I was able to find quickly. In the case of
polsarpro I trusted your debian/copyright that it is GPL2. In the case
of doris the web page says "free for non-commercial use" and your
copyright says GPL3. I have not checked what is actually correct but I
left the more conservative non-free. Feel free to correct me if you are
sure about this and copyright statement is clear. I have not checked the
license for getorb just to safe time.
Please frogive my ignorance about launchpad but I have not found ready
to install deb packages. So I simply directed the Pkg-URL field to the
debian/ packaging dir which is fine for the moment. It just points the
interested reader to a location where the work is done.

I hope the three examples I have given in SVN (see above) which are
rendered to
http://blends.alioth.debian.org/gis/tasks/sar
will give you an idea what to do. If you would like to edit the file
directly you need to become a member of Debian Blends team on Alioth but
sending me patches for the moment is perfectly fine. Please inspect
carefully what I have written especially the description of the task
on top would need some more love (perhaps explaining in detail what SAR
means). I also simply copied the web site text for the Pkg-Description
fields (I should rather have used the descriptions from your control
files - but I detected them to late).
If you feel some need you can also add some Remark fields in the same
syntax as Pkg-Description.
Kind regards
Andreas.
