Upstream concerns about unarr packaging (Was: Newbie questions on packaging opencpn)

[Sebastiaan Couwenberg <sebastic@xs4all.nl>]

Hi Felix,

Your concerns from IRC have been noted [0].

Alec is the packager of unarr in Debian and the one that chose to use
your CMake build system in the Debian package.

Can you discuss your concerns with Alec on this list to keep the rest of
the team in the loop?

Kind Regards,

Bas

14:30 < selmf> hello
14:44 < selmf> anybody here?`:)
14:56 < Myon> selmf: do you have a question?
14:57 < selmf> sort of
14:59 < selmf> there is a package prepared by the GIS team for Debian
which uses some code from me in a way that makes me feel really
uncomfortable
15:01 < selmf> to be precise, this is about
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/unarr
15:04 < selmf> an the code in question is a cmake build system I wrote
for my personal fork of unarr
15:09 < selmf> the gis package is currently trying to adapt this build
system to the unmaintained upstream project without taking into account
the changes I did to the actual source code, and this is a bit ugly
15:13 < selmf> so I'm looking for a good way to politely discuss the
issues involved and help getting this on the right track
15:18 < Myon> selmf: the mailing list is probably the better place
15:19 < Myon> or maybe leave a comment/issue with the salsa project
15:31 < selmf> ok
