Dear Will, thank you for your mail. You are of course welcome to join our list. If your interests are also nuclear physics, you may also be interested by [EMAIL PROTECTED] alternatively. I did not understand if by "Debian grade" you mean "packaged" or "good for packaging". The Debian-Med project does a lot of packaging and we can help you for this (altghough if your programs are of a broader scope than medical imaging, I'd suggest to transfer the discussion on debian-science. Many of us are on both lists anyway). If by "Debian grade" you mean "good for packaging", then here is a list of hints: - The program must be of broad interest (for instance, have users that are not direct friends or colleagues of you). - Its sources must be portable: the Debian packge are build on big-endian, little-endian, 32 bits, 64 bits,… many different platforms. - It should not use duplicated code: we try to dynamically link to libraries packaged in Debian. If you need some libraries to be modified, it would be better to at least contact upstream before shipping a forked copy. - It must not use executable names that are too generic. /usr/bin is very crowded in a Debian environment, and our packages must not fight for the same name there.
