I'll have a look at the licensing situation.
I am not sure it make sense to package the contrib repository. It is a bit
of a mixture of different things, mostly really demos for developers
interested in working with libosmium.
node-osmium and pyosmium are probably not quite ready for a release and
packaging yet. I should be able to get to them sometime this month.
For the moment I am concentrating on libosmium and osmium-tool, OSMCoastline
isn't that important, but it is ready for a release, too. I have just tagged
releases libosmium 2.0.0, osmium-tool 1.0.0, and osmcoastline 2.0.0. I am
starting with version 2.0.0 for libosmium and osmcoastline to make sure it
doesn't conflict with old osmium. I think we should probably call this package
libosmium2-dev and leave the old libosmium-dev for the time being.
I see you have set
Upstream Author : Osmium Developers <dev@openstreetmap.org>
Is that right? Thats a general OSM developer mailing list. Not really
Osmium specific. We currently don't have any Osmium-specific mailing
address except my own. I could create some @osmcode.org alias if that
makes sense?
For node-osmium and pyosmium you set the Languages to "Javascript" and
"Python", respectively. Is that right? Because they are bindings for the C++
lib for those languages they are mostly written in C++ themselves. libosmium
you set "FIXME" as language, that has to be C++ obviously.
