Andreas I am uncertain as to your meaning as to what would happen if we packaged through you.
Let me introduce myself a bit further. I am am an associate professor of medicine at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine who is volunteering his time to help package OSCAR, a project of another medical school McMaster. I, alas, have not been schooled as a programmer, so thank you in advance for your patience with elementary questions. The timing of this communication is fortuitous. We are indeed at the moment going through policy and such to have ourselves placed in a repository. We picked Ubuntu as it is a common distro, I have hand written a simple .deb that we have tested and released at Sourceforge but have not yet made a .dsc The version that we intend to distribute is 10_12 which is ISO certified and is in late beta early release candidate form. We have just transferred to Git from CVS so forgive us if we are not following conventions. To get our code you git clone -b new_RELEASE_10_12 git://oscarmcmaster.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/oscarmcmaster/oscar 10_12 is the last version that compiles with ant. I have not tested if it compiles with maven, but it is supposed to. Our intention is to make OSCAR readily available to as many users as might like to give us a try through apt-get or its GUI equivalent. As OSCAR is a WAR binary that needs MySQL Tomcat6 and Java, its sufficiently abstracted from the architecture and the kernel, I suffer under the naive belief that it should not be hard to form a generic package that would work in most if not all Debian type distributions. As our target distro is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, it seems to make sense to continue our work there to be entered into the Ubuntu repository. Please explain why we would want to package with you, if that would make our work with Ubuntu void? ================ Peter Hutten-Czapski Haileybury Ontario "The attitude that ‘if rural people want these services they’ll have to come to the city to get them’ is simply not acceptable…” (Newbery, 1999) Before printing, think about the environment.
