Hello everyone, One of the goals for OSGeo live 8 was having more programs packaged as deb files. Although we are still far from installing everything from deb at least some programs were packaged, and this actually helped the build process a lot.
With OSGeo live version 8 released, perhaps now is a good time to make sure those packages get into debian as well. The steps that you need to do are well documented in the packaging pages of the debian GIS policy [1]. I'd suggest that everyone who currently has a package or wants to build a package at least does the first step: filing an ITP bug. This is just a way to make sure that nobody else starts doing the same thing without contacting you. Debian freeze is approaching (5th of november), so better no procrastination, or your package will not be in the next release :-) So for those of you sitting at a boring talk at foss4g or cannot sleep after having had many great talks: start bringing packages to debian :-) Johan [1] http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/packaging.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
