Hello mentors, I'm interested in packaging Shapely [0], a python library, because I need it as a dependency for a program I'm working on (and I'd like to package too). Skapely was already packaged (as python-shapely) [1] and uploaded some time ago, but was rejected. Unfortunately, nobody could tell me the reason (the maintainer didn't answer to my emails, ftp masters didn't neither and other community members of the project seem to have no clue). Since I started to repackage it, I maybe found a possible solution to the dilemma: do you think that the license [2] (in particular the third condition) is not enough free? Notice that if this is the problem, I could try to contact upstream, or package an old GPLed version of the library (see [3]). (or just rewrite the _2_ function that I use from that library...) thank for you help Pietro Battiston [0]: http://trac.gispython.org/lab/wiki/Shapely [1]: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-grass-general/2008-May/003072.html [2]: http://svn.gispython.org/svn/gispy/Shapely/trunk/LICENSE.txt [3]: http://lists.gispython.org/pipermail/community/2007-November/001271.html
