* Package name : aprs-weather-submit Version : 1.7.1 Upstream Contact: Colin Cogle <co...@colincogle.name> * URL : https://github.com/rhymeswithmogul/aprs-weather-submit * License : Affero GPL v3 (or later) -- see note below Programming Lang: C (C99 with GNU extensions)Description : Manually submit weather station data to the APRS-IS network.
I'm the creator of aprs-weather-submit and I'd like to propose it be a part of the Debian repositories. Amateur radio operators use my app (particularly on the Raspberry Pi platform) to submit their own weather and location information via APRS-IS and broadcast it to the world. I created this app because I couldn't find anything out there quite like it. I have been maintaining this app for several years, and I have been writing free and open-source software in C (and other languages) for even longer. There are no dependencies beyond the standard C library. I currently release this as a Launchpad PPA, but I would like to move it into the repositories for the benefit and convenience of my users. I plan to maintain this myself, but I've never contributed to Debian before, so I would appreciate having a mentor to help me get started. Note that this app can be compiled for other operating systems besides Linux. In the source tarball is a library called "freegetopt" that is licensed under the MIT License. However, this is a dependency only used to build for DOS, and it is never linked, compiled, or included in any Linux builds (as Linux has native getopt_long() support). The Debian binaries would only contain my AGPLv3+-licensed code.
