Re: New package : glGrib



Yes glGrib relies on OpenGL, which makes it very fast. It also handles natively gaussian grids which are commonly used in weather models. I have created deb packages using customs scripts (relying on dpkg-deb). I will look into the documentation you provided.

I think this is interesting. How does glGrib compare with XyGrib for
instance? I guess the main difference is the OpenGL rendering?

I guess you used makedeb, equivs or something like that do prepare this
.deb archive?

If you are targeting an inclusion in Debian, you should be able to build
the .deb from source in the canonical Debian way in order to enforce
consistency and reproducibility within the Debian archive. To get a
broad idea of the involved steps, you can see [0] for instance (maybe
not the most up-to-date resource though).
If you want, you may have a look at this page and tell us what you think.
