Package: gocr
Version: 0.48
Dear GOCR package maintainers!
I am currently working on creating a Debian package for opensource
project OSRA - chemical formular optical recognition tool [1]. In order
to compile this project we need libPgm2asc.a library plus all relevant
headers as a separate package (e.g. gocr-dev). Packaging libPgm2asc.so
as yet another package (gocr-lib) may also be considered, but it is not
required by ORSA package. If OSRA will be one day put into Debian
repository, there might be need for gocr-lib as well (if Debian policy
is strictly to avoid static linking unless absolutely necessary).
I attach the patch I have generated in my development Debian based on
gocr-0.48 package. What I have added:
- Triggering library compilation during the build cycle
- Including all relevant headers into the -dev package
I will be happy if the patch (or the general idea) is accepted.
Thank you in advance!
