thanks for bringing this up to the table again as you did last April when I answered[1] that it might be a good idea to contact Debian Science team since the coordination of packages like this is done on this list. Since a web search did not revealed a single post of yours on this list I put it in CC for this mail to just leave a record there. > I tried the repository that you introduced me, but it wasn't > satisfying (not up to date, I had some bug troubles...) > The version 4.10 of Geant is out, so I had to recompile it and I > wasn't satisfy to do it locally on all of my computer and only for > myself. > So I was wondering, since it is not DFSG-conformed due to an > anti-patent clause in the license, isn't its place in the contrib > part of the debian project ?

It is good to contact Debian and as I said Debian Science is the right forum to find people working on the same problem. > An other point, I otfen use this soft > http://sourceforge.net/projects/plotdigitizer/ to get back the data > from plots (mainly from old publications).

I'd recommend to read the Debian Science policy document[2] which has some pointers to beginner documentation. I'd be happy to sponsor your package in my Sponsering of Blends effort[3]. You might be interested in the viewing task[4] and the data acquisition task[5] of Debian Science. Hope this helps Andreas.
