Dear fellow Debian Scientists, After some discussion on this list, I'm trying to move all of the Yorick packages to team maintenance within the science team. This involves one upload per package with little changes to comply with the debian science policy. Most of this I can do on my own, but two young packages still lack the DMUA field. Would someone be kind enough to upload them within the next few days? The purpose of both packages is to provide yorick users with the ability of saving animations as movie files. yorick-mpeg has been around for some time but has only been uploaded recently in the Debian archive. It concentrates on MPEG1 and builds fine on every arch (although I have not been able to check yet whether it provides meaningful output on all arches). yorick-av attempts to be a compatible replacement which uses LibAV to write movies in more recent formats (Ogg/Voris, MP4...). It's therefore better than yorick-mpeg when it works, but it is bound to have issues during LibAV transitions, and doesn't run properly on some arches (yet). Help welcome, by the way. yorick-av: http://mentors.debian.net/package/yorick-av git://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/yorick-av.git This package runs a test suite at run time. You can also run yorick -batch check.i from the built source tree for a more ex(t|p)ensive test. It will create movies in various formats which you can then visually check with mplayer. yorick-mpeg: http://mentors.debian.net/package/yorick-mpeg git://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/yorick-mpeg.git To test this package, first install it, then launch yorick, then within yorick: > #include "mpgtest.i" > mpgtest > quit and finally check the file called test.mpg. Best regards, Thibaut.
