GeographicLib 2.0 has been released and removed the language bindings from its

The python3-geographiclib and node-geographiclib binary packages are no longer
built from the geographiclib source package.
At time of writing there is no distrib directory for the Python nor Node.js
bindings like there is for C:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/geographiclib/files/
I'm not aware what upstreams plans are with the other language implementations,
they'll need to be packaged separately if they haven't been deprecated.
Many thanks for this early notice! If I read correctly the readme here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/geographiclib/files/distrib/
I read that too, but did not find the code repos or release tarballs for
the Python bindings, nor the matlab, js, java, and dotnet ones which are
all removed from the 2.0 source tree.
NOTE: Starting with version 2.0 of GeographicLib (to be announced) the
source code distribution will be split into separate packages for each
programming language.
So maybe we have only to wait. Do you plan to package
python3-geographiclib if it hasn't been deprecated and it will show up
later? I can help if needed.
No, I already maintain too many packages I don't actually use myself.
You're welcome to maintain python-geographiclib in the GIS team, but
you're likely better off in the Python team to not have to deal with a
different team policy:
