Hi,
I'm currently doing a workshop about packaging GIS applications at Libre
Software Meeting[1] and a participant came up with the idea to talk over
Orfeo Toolbox into main Debian. I think this is a good idea and
perfectly in line with the attempt to support UbuntuGIS packages. I
have simply fetched the latest (hopefully?) *.dsc targeting at
dget https://launchpad.net/~otb/+archive/ubuntu/orfeotoolbox-staging-stable-ubuntugis/+files/otb_4.0.0-1otb1%7Etrusty2.dsc
and injected the packaging to
Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-grass/otb.git
Some work was done in the direction of a Debian GIS compliant package to
demonstrate the packaging in the Debian GIS team. However, the
packaging remains with several lintian issues and I personally do not
feel competent to solve them all since I do not have any idea about OTB.
For instance it remains an open question whether we should move the set of
/usr/bin/otbgui_*
/usr/bin/otbcli_*
files rather to
/usr/lib/otbgui
/usr/lib/otbcli
and leave only the main executable (otbgui and otbcli) in /usr/bin and
setting the PATH accordingly. At least from an uninformed point where I
am this somehow sensible.
I also do not feel really capable to finish and upload this package to
Debian but if there is some volunteer with more insight into the package
I would be happy to guide the furtherly needed work.
Kind regards and thanks to the OTB team to provide OTB as free software
Andreas.
