Where can I (as a very Debian centric person) read about those "ticket". The only way I know to claim that a package should be integrated into Debian is by filing a WNPP bug report but I was not able to find such thing for both packages. > >My intention is at some point in the future to not require a custom PPA for > >GeoNode (not even Ubuntugis).

IMHO this is a very reasonable attempt and I'd be happy to support from the Debian side. > >Does anyone here have experience with that who could mentor me? What do you mean by "mentor me". I offered to sponsor packages to the Debian pool which for you means finally some automatic propagation to official Ubuntu. This works perfectly nice for years for the Debian Med team. I did offered a way how you can get sponsored by me here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends/SoB If you are interested to move your package into Debian and have no idea what the above procedure means feel free to ask for clarification. > >>The fact that a lot of the packages included in your PPA are not GIS > >>related is a bit of a problem.

Neither a linux kernel nor libc are GIS centric but you need them for running a reasonable GIS system. So where do you want to draw the line for non-GIS precondistions? The main clue is to bring all these non-<specific-field> preconditions into the base distribution hoping that other maintainers of other fields will help you in maintenance. But the initial push to get this packaged at all should come from a highly motivated team and this could be *because* a package is some precondition for <specific-field>. > >>I'm wondering what the people using UbuntuGIS think about adding GeoNode > >>and all the required packages to the repo? This finally is another argument to not focus to much onto a final product like UbuntuGIS but rather care for a rich stack of GIS material inside the base distribution and later just cherry-pick from it for your final product. > >>Anyway good work on the packaging it's nice to see another software with a > >>super easy install :).
