  Description     : checkit_tiff is a conformance checker for baseline TIFFs, needed for longterm preservation community

"checkit_tiff" is a conformance checker for baseline TIFFs (with various
extensions). It works in different way than other tools. Instead to use
a
hardcoded rule set with predefined values, you are able to define tags
and
corresponding values more fine granulary. The rulesets are human
readable and 
could be adapted to own needs.

The "checkit_tiff" works on commandline and therefore it is embedable in
scripts

The tools are developed for purposes of curation and longterm
preservation.

I would try to package it within pkg-phototools-devel. Because I am a
Debian packing beginner, please do not hesitate to contact me and give
me some tips. In long-term I will support more packages, too.
