Package: libinchi1 Version: 1.03+dfsg-4+b2 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: nbeh...@yahoo.com
Dear Maintainer, I hereby request the update of the InChI package as provided by DebiChem. At present, download and installation of libinchi1/libinchi-bin from the repositories of Debian 13/trixie provides the software equivalent to version 1.03/June 15, 2010. While Andrius Merkys thankfully packaged this version in 2019, there already was the request to provide the community a package corresponding to a more recent version of InChI. However, starting with version 1.04 (September 2011), InChI trust adopted a license scheme which did not comply Debian's policies (see, for example [1]). Today Wednesday, 2024-07-17, the InChI trust released a new version 1.07 of the software. In addition to revised and extended functionality, the open source project hosted on GitHub[2] now adopts the MIT license scheme.
