Hi, Jerome:

ECW is non-free, so not appropriate and generally not in line with DebianGIS's goals. (note the -src in the package name) Others may of course do as they like. > Please add communication with Debian GIS on this list.

Osmosis is handled by the OSM Team not the DebianGIS Team (I have no interest in conflating the two :), and I believe it is mentioned here partly as an example of how to package java apps, not to hijack maintainership*. I accept that sid is a couple minor versions out of date for it, but I'm not sure what repackaging gains us besides fixing the "java exceptions". I presume the idea is that the newer releases fix that? [*] of course the package maintainers should be in the loop, :) http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/osmosis.html Likewise Marble is maintained by KDE-Edu, the idea to repackage it for UbuntuGIS comes from the OSGeo Live DVD where if we rebuilt the Marble package without the KDE dependency, and drop a few other non-critical KDE apps we can save a load of badly needed disc space by avoiding installing lots of other KDE packages. So neither really matters for DebianGIS or upstream. regards, Hamish _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
