actually, the Vista project is not really under active development. Since
in the MIA project I was only interested in the IO-stuff it got stripped
down to exactly that part which is now called vistaio. On they way one
of my colleagues (at that time) advised a student to add some Doxygen
comments and re-branded the license from the original BSD-like to GPL (I
have no idea if this is legal).
IMHO this should be legal (but not the other way around).
Since the first implementation of MIA is kind of a mess, I rebooted the
project last spring and reimplemented most of the image processing
stuff.
Could you add some URLs to make sure that we will not spend our
time on "the messy one". I'm aware of
http://mia.sourceforge.net/
We would like to build packages of a "living" project.
Since this project needs also to be run in MS Windows and be
callable from MatLab and IDL, I made the vistaio part of the source
tree, witch seems to be the only way to get save dynamic linking on this
platform. To avoid naming conflicts the included vistaio creates a
shared object "vistaio-minimal".
As a hint I would inform the original authors that there is some
continued development of a fork of some part of their code. May be
they are interested in this development and some useful cooperation
might be established.
I hope that sheds some light on the state of affairs, don't hesitated to
contact me in case of further questions.
Many thanks for the clarification.
PS: This e-mail-address is spammed anyway, but to me it seems, the
archive of this list makes it an easy job for address harvesting bots ...
You are right - Debian lists are a perfect harvesting field for spam
bots. That's the dark side of an open list.
Kind regards
Andreas.
