Yesterday upstream removed the 2.0 release from the download location on
SF which suggests that it was a premature release.
The package has already been updated and is in experimental, it will
likely need to be updated to 2.0+ds once the 2.0 release is made again
to include the changes since the package was first updated to 2.0.
The python3-geographlib and node-geographiclib binary packages are no
longer built. Popcon shows pretty much no usage of node-geographiclib so
its removal is not big deal. python3-geographiclib does have some (but
not many) users, likely via python3-geopy which will be broken once
GeographLib 2.0 is in unstable. #1008603 has been filed for geopy.
There are distrib directories for C and Octave, but none for Python or
Node.js at https://sourceforge.net/projects/geographiclib/files/. I have
not idea what the future of Python bindings will be, I only know that I
won't be packaging it.
Kind Regards,
