|     I have no idea whether you intend to upload this package to Debian or not but in any case the very oldest changelog entry was *not* closing the ITP bug since the package was not released.  Keeping the "Closes: ITP bug" statement in the latest changelog entry helps the machine readable gatherer to detect this bug.

We haven't uploaded AFNI to stock Debian yet since primarily because

- it functioned crappy with lesstif and open motif was not in main. now
this one is resolved

- we were not confident in its correct operation due to the use of our
alternative build system (cmake) instead of the stock upstream.  We have
introduced some rudimentary build-time testing to at least catch few most
obvious issues, and by now we did use it "in production" with positive results.

I will (try to) update it for the current upstream snapshot (they do not
release), but for the upload to Debian proper it would need a thorough pass
through debian/copyright and may be some other (smaller) tune ups for
which I have no time atm.  If someone could contribute here -- we would really
appreciate.

Also ftpmasters I guess would complaint that afni-common depends on
afni-atlases which we provide only from NeuroDebian data repo  due to their
size/licensing issues.

I will update this thread when we upload fresh snapshot and push to
alioth updated packaging so if someone could look at the
license/copyright state -- would be great!
