Dear Sebastiaan, dear debian-gis developers, I'm working on the debian package for satpy [1], a Python package for earth-observing satellite data processing.
It is an interesting package that completes the PyTroll [2] suite of packages for remote sensing and earth observation. The package description: The SatPy package is a Python library for reading and manipulating meteorological remote sensing data and writing it to various image and data file formats. SatPy comes with the ability to make various RGB composites directly from satellite instrument channel data or higher level processing output. The pyresample package is used to resample data to different uniform areas or grids. If you agree, and someone is willing to sponsor uploads, I would like to maintain the package and its dependencies under the degian-gis. Some detail about package and already open ITPs: Main package ITP #917110: satpy -- Python package for earth-observing satellite data processing ITP for dependency packages #916541: trollsift -- String parser/formatter #916550: trollimage -- Pytroll imaging library #917149: python-geotiepoints -- Interpolation of geographic tiepoints in Python #917156: pygac -- NOAA AVHRR GAC reader and calibration -- WIP Dependency package that in in debian [3] but orphaned #705208: pylibtiff -- wrapper to the libtiff library to Python using ctypes Please note that pylibtiff is an already existing package that should be adopted by debian-gis. I already made some work on it but changes are still not online. Other optional dependencies (still no ITP): * python-hdf4 (pyhdf) * pyspectral * pytroll-schedule Please let me know if you think that satpy is a good candidate for debian-gis and if there is someone that want to sponsor it. satpy, trollsift, trollimage and python-geotiepoints have been uploaded to mentors. I can put them on salsa as soon as someone creates the repositories, I do not have permission to do it. Regarding pylibtiff, it already has a git repository but probably it would be better to move it under debian-gis. In any case I will wait for an OK before changing the #705208 into an ITA.
