But you will touch all the packages some day, because you will upgrade/update it. For me the measurable profit is to have a classified tree in the debian-science packages folder. It could be an cosmetic change to help the management. I think that we will go to an organization of packages in teams and the number of packages under debian science probably will be increased a lot. But, it's just my opinion. > Moreover several libraries which are currently mentioned in the robotics > task are also mentioned in other tasks - so where to put these (and > again why). You are right.

Ok, but I insist, it's just a propose for organization of files in that folder in Alioth. > Currently Robotics is just a part of Debian Science and there is no > point in splitting up further (at least at the moment).

Under my point of view, the "problem" of the robotics users is that they are very "Ubuntized". One of the biggest project ROS provides and use Ubuntu and it's full dependant in date, releases, etc. Although there are affords in upstream, it's difficult (because the quantity) to provide some kind of quality (under debian rules) packages for that project. Luckily I'm not alone (Jose, Thomas, Jochen..) but there are some pieces of code so much complex. Well, thanks for you comments. Best regards, Leopold -- -- Linux User 152692 Catalonia
