Re: [MoM] QuPath (Was: contribution to Med-debian)
Hi Andreas, I'm following the maintainer guide, I came across some commands such as dch, dh_make, ..etc, but they not accessible for me. That's why I asked about sudo.

Please consider a free license for CARD RGI
Hi, I'm writing you on behalf of the Debian Med team which is a group inside Debian with the objective to package free software in life sciences and medicine for main Debian. I've got a user request to package CARD RGI[1] Unfortunately the licensing conditions[2] are to restrictive to be considered free software. On one hand it conflicts for instance with item 5 and 6 of the Debian Free Software Guidelines since it discrimitates users intending commercial usage. Even worse the code is not even distributable inside the Debian non-free repository since The Materials not be modified and used "as is" means we can not even apply some patches that would be really needed to do some sensible distribution to install the code globally on a machine for every user (as you even suggest in your installation instruction _docs/README, paragraph Commands for Running RGI system-wide) since this would mean changing some pathes inside the code. For instance when starting my unfinished packaging attemt I had created some patches[4] that are permitted by the above sentence. It would be great if you might consider some well known free license as for instance is used by the several tools (prodigal, ncbi-blast+ and python-biopython) you are basing your code upon. According the experiences we gathered in the Debian Med team the restrictive license you are using is not really helping to increase the acceptance of the code inside the scientific community nor does it encourage others to provide contributions that would enhance your code. Kind regards and thanks for considering Andreas.

Re: [MoM] QuPath (Was: contribution to Med-debian)
Hi Andreas, So, I will use alioth only to upload .deb file? I downloaded the templates and updated them with the minimum requirements. When I build the source package using (debuild -us -uc), I had the following error in changelog: " --DMPT`date -R` dpkg-buildpackage: warning: debian/changelog(l6): found end of file where expected more change data or trailer " What that means?

Alioth is hosting git.debian.org. Please read the Debian Med policy how to push git repositories of your packaging to this host. > I downloaded the templates and updated them with the minimum requirements. > When I build the source package using (debuild -us -uc), I had the > following error in changelog: > " --DMPT`date -R` > dpkg-buildpackage: warning: debian/changelog(l6): found end of file > where expected more change data or trailer > " > What that means? Just take your favourite editor and replace the string `date -R` by the output of this command on the command line. Feel free to have a look into any random git repository of any package to see other examples how a debian/changelog file should look like. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
