Dear all, First of all, thank you very much for the responsiveness and the interest! I sent my first message just before our bi-annual SOFA technical meeting. This kept me busy until now. I therefore apologize for the delay of my reply.
Now, about the SOFA Debian package. This is really an interesting topic for us, especially if it helps users in keeping close to recent versions of SOFA (as Emmanuel noticed). We are two engineers in the consortium, and we could find some time to work on this project during the upcoming year. However, none of us both has experienced on Debian packages. The mentoring looks a nice way to start. Emmanuel would you be a part of this project ?
