Fine.

That's a good idea. Now that the source code is on Github, this has
become feasible (wasn't at the time I originally created it).

Agreed. I'll try hard to get this in ...

Good, thanks for the pointer. Will make sure that the free stuff stays
in main.

Best,

OK, so I will do this for the currently available version in Debian.

This would be really nice.  At least I'll upload with a working watch
file which will remember us that some work needs to be done.

I can not be of any help here since I have no idea about this program.
I'd be very happy if you (or one of the other Uploaders) would take over
this effort.  It would be a shame if we would ship outdated software
with Buster.

Packages with free softeare depending from packages in non-free need
to go to contrib.  It would be great if those parts that do not need
the non-free components could stay in main, thought.
 
Kind regards

please restrict again to amd64/i386 for now. I hope I will get around
building the new version in time before the next freeze. The big
advantage of the newer versions 2.x + is support for GPUs. To support
that will be quite a lot of effort though. Given that we'll have to
build against the non-free nvidia stuff for GPU support, will this
require the package to move to non-free as well (at least the GPU variants)?

Best,

Roland

Bug#897239: What about new upstream version of relion?

2018-06-11 Thread Andreas Tille
Hi folks,

when I tried to fix this bug I realised that new upstream versions are
out.  I downloaded the latest one and imported it into Git[1].  Since I
don't know the software I would like to ask you about your reasons you
might have to stick to version 1.4.  There are some patches to fix and
may be some tests to do which I can't.  So may be if I do not hear from
you I'd probably only go with the restriction of architectures to
amd64/i386 to fix #897239.

Kind regards

  Andreas.
