I would be happy to move it to salsa. I just pointed to it as the one
we currently use
I guess I would then move it to dcm2niix-epoch1 smth like that (on salsa
i.e.) so previous versions could be found from the original
dcm2niix repo (to which I would also add a commit obliterating
everything and stating to look into that -epoch1 repo)
Please use the original packaging work on salsa and keep the history intact.
I don't see what would prevent you from rebasing the work done on Neurodebian on top of mine. Epoch bumps don't justify history rewrites or new repositories, imo.
Unless I misunderstood your intent. It's not 100% clear to me.

I also didn't but current one (280MB) made me think... not sure yet what
thoughts it would give ;)
