Re: [Ubuntu] Packaging Orfeo Toolbox for Debian
Considering that OTB is not a package developed by volunteers I think
that the OTB developers are the ones who have to decide whether they
want to produce a
Debian package and allocate the necessary resources. In particular, if the
only problem left is filling a file with
licenses information and Debian is one of the most important linux
distributions.
I think this is totally up to the OTB developers.
Best,
Agus
