I am the upstream maintainer of FabIO (occasionally developer but the
library is mature). I am doing a bit of debian packaging mainly for
ESRF (my employer) purposes, because we need it.
CBF is one of many format supported bu FabIO and the CBF implementation
of FabIO is not based on libCBF but on my own code (starting from the spec
of CBF, availble from IUCr).

This repository has been set-up for ESRF needs to provide debian
binaries for squeeze (and soon wheezy). I don't mind moving the
repository if I am not enforced to break the compatibility with squeeze.
The other issue is purely technical: how do I create an account there ?
