Thanks for your note!
I've been pushing my progress so far to Salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/topcom
It's still pretty rough (no d/copyright, tons of Lintian stuff to
address, etc.), but it builds.
I'm curious if you have any thoughts on one decision I've made. I've
prefixed all of the binaries with "topcom-". There are a few of them
with very generic names (e.g., "cube"). The Gentoo and Fedora
maintainers chose to do use a prefix with just some of the binaries,
but I figured I'd go all the way. Looking ahead to the Macaulay2
interface, I don't want to have to worry about which binaries have the
prefix and which don't.
Doug
