Re: Report from Debian Science BoF at DebConf 13
Lame me missed the whole debconf13 in physical presence and remote
participation in this BoF.
FWIW it is great to see that discussion was going about the issue of
citations.
From the wiki:
Create a dh_science helper
All debian/upstream files could be installed inside the binary package at for instance
/usr/share/science/<pkg>
This could just be done by some dh_science helper automatically and it also could add some trigger which creates an according BibTeX file all time a new package containing a citation is installed.
I would vote for this feature! ;) so far I have been adding debian/upstream to
docs of the my packages pretty much with the hope that some time later they
could be used exactly for that purpose of collecting bibliographies for
installed packages... echoing an older somewhat abandoned attempt where
we suggested to keep bibliography in copyright files
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-exppsy/debian-bibliography.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=tools/dbib_collect
I would not call the helper dh_science though since it is not
science-specific... if bibliographies to come solely from debian/upstream,
should be dh_upstream I guess ;)
Cheers!
