Hi John,

There is a new package:

   "gts:   GNU Triangulated Surface Library"

now available in testing.

This is my first package. It was built with mgar, so a review of my mgar/pkg/gts/ tree in svn would also be appreciated.

Some suggestions:
- Please use for SourceForge
    MASTER_SITES = $(SF_MIRRORS)
  For several big sites the URLs have been stored centrally.
- For SourceForge the upstream watch works slightly different due to the
  structure of the download page. Please use
UPSTREAM_MASTER_SITES = $(SF_PROJECT_SHOWFILE)=66612 (change to your id)
    UPSTREAM_USE_SF = 1
- You are using a static depend CSWgts.depend and dynamic depends with
  REQUIRED_PKGS. They both serve the same purpose and defining both
  will ignore REQUIRED_PKGS. Please remove CSWgts.depend and the notion
  of it in DISTFILES.
- You are using a static gspec file CSWgts.gspec. As the bitname and pkgname
  are the same as the GARNAME the defaults will be fine. You can safely
  remove the gspec-file and the notion of it in DISTFILES without change
  in behaviour. Static gspec files are also old-style and the newer
  variants from
<http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/gar/wiki/DynamicPackageFiles>
  should be used wherever possible.
- .la-files are already excluded during merge by default. See
<http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/gar/v2/gar.mk#L549>
  for details
- The NO_ISAEXEC line is only important when you build multiple ISAs
  (like the commented out 64 bit ISA with BUILD64=1). When building only
  one ISA it does nothing.

These are a lot of comments. Please take them as result of the, umh, imperfect
documentation. Which documentation have you missed most on your path?
What can I do to improve your getting started experience with GAR?


OK,  Got those.  New gts packages posted to /home/testing.

I'll work on some notes about GAR for you....

John
