Dear all,
The new "orthanc-wsi" package was submitted more than two months ago,
but is still pending in the NEW queue:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
As this package is the first free and open-source, reference
implementation of DICOM for microscopic whole-slide imaging (digital
pathology), I think providing it through Debian could expand the field
of scope of the Debian Med community.
As a consequence, I feel it would be important to make sure it gets
accepted into unstable before the Debian Stretch soft freeze, which will
occur in the following next days. Is there anything I can do to speedup
the review process?
Best Regards,
Sébastien-

Hi Sebastien,
thanks for your preparation. I've uploaded after moving packaging to
Git since the original tarball was changed.
Kind regards
Andreas.

Dear all,
Last Saturday, the Orthanc project released initial support of DICOM for
whole-slide microscopic imaging (digital pathology) [1]. This implementation
tries and follows Supplement 145 [2].
The implementation notably provides a command-line tool to convert
whole-slide images to DICOM, possibly using OpenSlide to decode proprietary
file formats. It also provides a Web viewer of such possibly multi-gigapixel
DICOM images, taking advantage of OpenLayers.
I have just packaged this framework for Debian Sid. The package is already
uploaded to the Subversion repository of Debian Med [3]. I think it is
reasonably lintian-proof.
Andreas, would it be possible for you to give a look at the package, and
possibly upload it to the NEW queue if it looks OK to you? I thank you much
in advance!
Cheers,
Sébastien-
PS: It would perhaps be a good idea to also migrate the package to git, as
there are some DFSG modifications wrt. the upstream tarball.
