It is as long in a "stanging area" as nobody posts the URL, right. It is also currently only on blends.debian.net and not on alioth.blends.debian.org which is used as "official" entry point. > that way I should see the generated web pages and I could ask also to the > ESRF guyes if this is ok for them.

We do not fight for dependencies in Blends, right. For instance Octave is in *several* tasks of Debian Science and we also are mentioning it in med-physics (and it is also somewhere in Debian Edu). Please always keep in mind: Tasks are by no means exclusive categories but they should just mention dependencies a user in a certain workfield would expect. > exafs type of experiment > saxs experiments > coherent diffraction > etc... > > then their is plenty of software use for the data analysis, image analysis, > nano materials software etc... > > TODO ESRF: > could you provide a list of all software that need to be package from your > point of view on your beamlines and also the machine > this way I should use thoses information to populate the PAN blends and I > should propose a meta package organisation. > > > to the relevant tasks file - this should fetch all relevant information > > and puts the data accordingly onto the web sentinel page.
