Hi, (CC'd to bugs.debian.org as an update to the ITP) Source Package (for potential sponsors) ======================================= This is my second request for a sponser for kst. I've updated my packaged version to kst-0.99 and uploaded the source to mentors.debian.net (http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kst/) The source package is lintian and linda clean. The ITP for kst is filed as bug number 246538 and a summary is below. * Package name : kst Version : 0.9.9 Upstream Author : C. Barth Netterfield <kst@omega.astro.utoronto.ca> * URL : http://omega.astro.utoronto.ca/kst/ * License : GPL Description : A KDE application used for displaying scientific data kst is a program for examining data streams which can plot x-y plots, power spectra, histograms and equations (including equations of data streams). It can also be used to examine data in files which are being updated as data is being logged, in which case it can act as a plotter for a chart recorder. . kst also contains a command line interface for rapid analysis of large amounts of data. Binary Packages =============== Because of the current state of KDE in sid (i.e. it's uninstallable in pbuilder due to the transition between libopenexr0 and libopenexr2 being half-completed), the package is not currently automatically buildable using a sid pbuilder chroot. It builds fine in a sarge pbuilder chroot and can be build if you manually use pbuilder login on a sid pbuilder chroot, install libopenexr0 then do the build using debuild. This isn't a kst problem, it's a generic sid problem. I've therefore provided both sarge and sid binaries built from exactly the same source at http://www.brain.ncl.ac.uk/~mark/debian/kst/0.99 The package is lintian and linda clean when built in both sarge and sid. (I'm not in any way suggesting that this may make it into sarge, I've simply built it for testing as well due to the problematic KDE situation in unstable). I would welcome any comments, Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers, University of Newcastle Medical School Intercalating Medical Student (MBBS / PhD)
