retitle 323469 ITA: fv -- a tool for viewing and editing FITS format files owner 323469 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The new fv upstream contains gobloads of other packages, does not have proper tracking of copyright and license matters, and designed to statically link to a bunch of things which should be dynamically linked to in Debian. I would not package it unless you can deal with (a) converting the static linking to dynamic linking (b) deleting the included packages of unknown license status (c) making it still build after doing that (d) documenting the copyrights and licenses of all the remaining parts of the program I started on this, and I still hope to do it eventually but it's a very large, and ugly, task. Hence the lack of progress. If someone else actually *accomplishes* this, then they should certainly take this ITA away from me. -- Nathanael Nerode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This space intentionally left blank.
