QSpeakers : worth packaging ?



Hello debian-science list !

This is my first post to this list, my name is Benoît and I felt it was a topic for debian-science -- sorry if not.

I wrote a program to simulate frequency response of well-known loudspeaker enclosures given the loudspeaker Thiele/Small [TS] parameters and the cabinet parameters (volume, ...). As i use it extensively as a DIY-er, i wondered if it could be useful for other people, including teachers in acoustics (i studied, lots of years ago in this realm). So, would it be worth to include it in Debian as a "misc" package? There are a lot of programs like it on Windows® but no free software, appart gspeakers (defunct, gtk+2.0, never packaged) for unices, AFAIK. I would like to have your comments or suggestions on it.


Here is the possible ITP description:

* Package name    : qspeakers
  Version         : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Benoît Rouits
* URL             : http://brouits.free.fr/qspeakers/
* License         : GPL-3.0+
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : loudspeaker design software

 QSpeakers is a simple graphical program that
 simulates common acoustical enclosures behaviour
 to help designing of loudspeaker systems, based on
 the loudspeaker driver's Thiele / Small parameters
 and the chosen enclosure type.
 .
 This software is mostly useful for do-it-yourself
 loudspeaker enthusiasts, acoustics teaching, and
 to a lesser extent, for loudspeaker engineering.

There is a screenshot in the homepage URL.
If you are curious, you can also test it.
It needs Qt5 and Qwt6 (built against Qt5).

Comments welcome !
Thanks,
 Benoît
