From a very short look it seems to be easy to package. From its topic it might be more fit for the DebiChem project[1]. According to your opinion: To which of the listed tasks this package would fit best? I could quickly craft some packaging in Git or SVN (at your preference) but we should decide for a better name than just "probe". This name is to generic. The binary /usr/bin/probe is even taken in Debian by the package mirmon. Could you suggest a better name perhaps by finding some senisible prefix? > I have modified the linux makefile to allow compilation (see attached) Thanks, I'll check this. > Current or bleeding edge source > > https://codeload.github.com/rlabduke/probe/zip/master > has the recently modified version I usually tend to package released versions. If you could convince the authors to add release tags we could consider packaging based on those released code from github. > 2. suitename versions: > > executable for version 0.3.070628 is packaged with developer linux binary > tarball > > source for this version is available from: > > http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/downloads/software/suitename/suitename.0.3.070628.src.tgz The homepage is http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/software/suitename.php and this looks like a natural Debian Med target. > This compiles for me using the unmodified linux makefile Sounds good and seems easy to package as well. > Current or bleeding edge source > > https://codeload.github.com/rlabduke/suitename/zip/master > has the recently modified version Same as above: Please convince the authors to add release tags to flag that this is stable code intended to be used in production. Thanks for the detailed information which makes things more clear to me now. Kind regards Andreas.
