Froward from lia.
Hi,
I am Lia Domide, one of the core developers in TVB Project.
Umar has recently joined the team, as part of Google Summer of Code (GSOC 2018) and his task is to package TVB for NeuroDebian, thus he initiated this work with you.
I will try to add some details to the questions raised on these threads.
The packages we want to publish now are 4:
- tvb-gdist
is similar with other geodesic packages. But at the time of our implementation, this was the only one working on meshes with areas both concave and convex, and easy to access for us from Python.
- tvb-data
contains demo data for TVB demos and tests
- tvb-library
this depends on tvb-gdist and tvb-data
holds the core scientific code for TVB, mainly our simulator. It can be used in the python command line without the next package tvb-framework.
is unique by the fact that it does full brain simulations, modeled at a macroscopic level, considering delays in signal propagation
- tvb-framework
depends on tvb-library, adds web GUI, DB storage and a simple workflow configurator
it includes a full cherrypy based web server structure. Thus, it contains minified versions of MatJax, D3, JQuery and Flot libraries.
We refer their licenses only here: https://www.thevirtualbrain.org/tvb/zwei/brainsimulator-requirements <https://www.thevirtualbrain.org/tvb/zwei/brainsimulator-requirements>. Should they licenses be better emphasized?
These 4 packages have their sources on Github under GPLv3 license: https://github.com/the-virtual-brain <https://github.com/the-virtual-brain>
We packed them for Pypi https://pypi.org/user/tvb/ <https://pypi.org/user/tvb/>
and Conta Forge https://conda-forge.org/feedstocks/ <https://conda-forge.org/feedstocks/> (filter after “tvb”)
We also pack TVB_Distribution https://www.thevirtualbrain.org/tvb/zwei/brainsimulator-software <https://www.thevirtualbrain.org/tvb/zwei/brainsimulator-software> which includes Python, TVB and all dependencies in a ready to use package.
We would like, if possible, the same structures as on Pypi to be available for Debian, with as little as possible changes.
It is important, if our packages are published on your repo, that multiple people have rights to maintain them (me included). How can we easily ensure that?
