Also may be debian-med hardcore team would advise on keeping debian packaging within debian-med VCS to allow easier centralized packaging management. > The software packages that are not yet available as packages (but > I'm on it): > viewitgui > a visualization tool for results obtained by using the image > registration algorithms implemented in mia > mialmpick > the visualization software > With the exception of libnlopt, the source code for all these > packages is hosted at http://mia.sourceforge.net > Any hints, advices, etc where I should go from here are very welcome. I guess reasonable way to start would be to clarify the situation with vistaio library... meanwhile working on packaging the rest of the tools... double check the licensing of the code base (i.e. if no conflicting licenses and if everything is listed under debian/copyright), upload source packages to mentors.debian.org when ready... > PS: Now I read that the prefered way to do packaging is on > git.debian.org, but is seems debian.org is down, so I can't get > access to the policy documents :( apt-get install debian-policy for me debian.org is live and beating -- Yaroslav O.
