By "Debian grade" I mean all of the below. All of my stuff is student work and I imagine that others have done it better. The best way to find out, is to jump on your list and ask. I have some simple photon transport and CT codes. They use libgd, fftw and a couple of others that were in the Debian repositories. They served my purpose and I did not see other packages at the time.
Well, if your software has a DFSG free license and does some useful stuff for a wider audience than one person in a specific lab it is worth integrating into Debian. I admit we have some code that is unmaintained, outdated, with missing upstream - but used by some Debian users anyway - so we try to fix and maintain it at best. This situation is much worse than something that is written by a student who is working on the code and might release enhanced versions in the near future. So there is no need to be shy. Only obtaining from the description I think your projects would fit into the physics category very well. So if you are able to build Debian packages from your projects we would welcome you to join the Debian-Med Alioth crew and enable you to commit to SVN. This would be the easiest way to answer possible question you might have about packaging. It might be a good idea to read http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html before startting with this. If there are any remaining questions feel free to ask them on this mailing list. Kind regards and thanks for your interest Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
