Bug#836249: (ITP: cavewhere -- Cave survey processing and visualisation)

[Wookey]

Cavewhere has proved problematic to build and package but I think we are nearly 
there.

v1.0 added two new dependencies:
asyncfuture and st3c.

Turned out st3c didn't do anything that libsquish didn't already do,
so it was patched to just use libsquish. Then upstream took that fix.

asyncfuture is now packaged, uploaded and in testing.

qt-qml-models is packaged, but not uploaded as I've never actually got
cavewhere to build against it, so it might be broken.

A serious bug in libsquish packaging was found, which broke the cavewhere build,
but none of the other dependencies. That has been fixed in time for bookworm.

The Cavewhere build now gets further than ever before using system
libraries, but the test library build still fails with a c++
issue. Awaiting comment from upstream. So it's missed bookworm, but I
think we really are nearly there.

Bug#836249: ITP: cavewhere -- Cave survey processing and visualisation

[Wookey]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Wookey 

  Package name: cavewhere
  Version : 0~20160817
  Upstream Author : Philip Schuchardt 
  URL : http://www.cavewhere.com/
  License : GPL3
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : Cave survey processing and visualisation

 GUI cave survey software, with data entry entry covering multiple data
 formats. Data is processed using survex. Sketches are distorted to fit
 and displayed in 3D, allowing very fast turnaround maps to be produced.
 Uses QT and works on Windows, Mac and Linux. Data can be imported from
 Walls and Survex.

This is quite new software, with a user-friendly modern GUI and taking
a different approach to Tunnel and Therion, the other free-software
cave-survey drawing packages. It has a very helpful upstream. It has
several dependencies which are not yet in debian and thus will need
packaging first: libsquish, qmath3d, dewalls, qt-qml-tricks.
