Source code release for Mayam
[Mail goes to Debian Med list but Mayam authors are in BCC to not expose them
for nasty spammers which might parse the mailing list archive.]
Hello,
I'm writing on behalf of the Debian Med[1] team which intends to build a
complete working environment for medical care completely integrated into
the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. We recieved a hint to Mayam which
seems to be one of the rare high quality DICOM viewers which are useful
for doctors in their day to day life and thus we would like to include
it into Debian. I noticed that the source is available in SVN were we
could download it to build a Debian Source package (all Debian packages
need to be build from plain sources). However, it would really simplify
our life if we could relay on downloading some kind of released tarball
in the same manner as you are providing downloadable binaries at the
sourceforge download page[3]. The rationale behind this is that Debian
developed automatic tools which parse upstream sites for new releases
and download this source in case of new releases. If you do not
consider this as a good idea (for whatever reason) it would be at least
helpful to tag the released source in SVN as it was done for version
0.7. Otherwise it is hardly possible to decide what code belongs to the
0.8 release of Mayam.
Kind regards and thanks for providing Mayam as Free Software
Andreas.
