Hi, I have read a bit about the openmeca package. I'm sorry, but IMHO the package is not well done from the beginning. Let me explain my opinion because I would not be destructive.
openmeca source has three folders: * ChronoEngine * OpenMeca * Serialization Your package should be just OpenMeca. Why? * ChronoEngine should be a single package. It's a project, AFAIK you are not upstream (PROJECTCHRONO , https://github.com/projectchrono/chrono). This project deserves a single package. I think that it wouldn't be easy. It use several code from bullet (gimpact, and should be dropped) * Serialization. It's Boost and we have it in Debian. I think that you cannot put this code because it violates some policy to repeat it. And, looking the sources, in a fist quick look, they are almost equal than my boost serialization folder from Jessie. So, my recommendation: - To package ChronoEngine, patching the needed code to use the standard installation of bullet. Work with upstream about it. I think that they will be open. - Drop from your code all the Serialization folder and use the standard installation of Boost - Package "just" Openmeca.
