* Package name : python-openelectrophy Version : 0.0.svn145 Upstream Author : Samuel Garcia, Nicolas Fourcaud-Trocmé * URL : http://neuralensemble.org/trac/OpenElectrophy * License : Cecill v2 Programming Lang: Python Description : data analysis framework for intra- and extra-cellular recordings This package provide a library und GUI for analyzing electrophysiological data. (imagine the rest of a long description) There has been some debate whether the Cecill v2 license can be considered DFSG-compatible [0]. Wikipedia says '?' [1]. It claims to be GPL-compatible and might allow relicensing under the GPL. If it turns out to be incompatible, I'll try to talk with upstream about it -- otherwise the package would target 'non-free'. The software essentially exposes a 'pyssdh' package, hence the Debian package might be named python-pyssdh. However, the package also serves as the 'OpenElectrophy' GUI-application (via python-qt4) and I guess this is what users would look for. It might be reasonable to add an additional arch:all binary package 'openelectrophy' that merely contains the short wrapper script distributed by upstream and a link in /usr/bin and otherwise depend on python-pyssdh -- not sure yet whether this is the way to go. The main (and only) form of distribution is via SVN. It has never been released the tarball way, hence the made up version. I am about to add this project to the relevant task pages of the Debian-Med and -Science pure blends.
