Thanks for the comments so far, I've posted an updated set of packages to mentors.debian.net, here's a quick list of changes (I may be forgetting a few):
- Added an ITP bug #603393
- Changed libgis-doc to arch:all
- Converted debian/copyright to DEP-5 format
- Removed .a files from libgis-dev.install
- Fixed lintian errors (one info message left for no-symbols-control-file)
- Removed ChangeLog from debian/docs
- Improved library versioning
- Renamed libgis package to libgis0
- Added -version-info to libgis.so
- Moved plugins from /usr/lib/gis/ to /usr/lib/libgis0/
- Improved debian/control
- Removed incorrect VCS links
- Improved package descriptions
- libgis-bin depends on shlibs:Depends not individual libraries
- libgis-dev suggests libigs-doc
- libgis-doc recommends libgis0
I also set up a git repository on my local machine for storing the
Debian files using git-buildpackage. As David suggested, I would like to
host them as part of the pkg-grass project and am looking into getting a
repository on Alioth.
Note, the new packages are called 0.4.2 instead of 0.4.1. These include
a few changes to libgis to accommodate Debian packaging. I'm waiting for
all the Debian changes to be finished before pushing a tag to libgis'
git mirrors though.
