I'm also toying with a Launchpad PPA for now: https://launchpad.net/~pouillon/+archive/etsf-ubuntu This is more convenient for us at present, as Ubuntu Lucid is the most widespread distribution among the ETSF (http://etsf.eu/) developers. The current objective is to cover all dependencies of Abinit, in order to package its upcoming 6.6.1 version, refining the splitting of the binary packages at the same time. I'm currently working on the following packages: atompaw, wannier90, libfox95. Damien Caliste and Sylvestre Ledru have already made - or are in the course of making - some of the other packages available for Debian: etsf-io, libxc, bigdft. I don't have any sponsor yet for my packages. > With regards to maintenance, I'm not entirely clear on how we were > going to do things in the first place. Yann? As far as maintenance is concerned, I'm packaging the tools and libraries which require the biggest efforts in terms of upgrading the build systems and sometimes parts of the source code. In each case, I'm working in close contact with upstream developers, and I can already report a very successful collaboration for AtomPAW. For the rest, I fully trust the persons who volunteered to create and maintain a package. My only concern is to keep a good coordination among the ongoing efforts, since we have long-term objectives in the ETSF. I've been in contact with Andreas Tille for nearly 2 years, who initially suggested me to create and maintain a metapackage for Debian Science. After having discussed a few times of overlaps between metapackages with him and other people, I don't see any problem in DebiChem including some of the nanoscale-physics* packages in their own metapackages. Any help is of course very welcome as well. Just keep me in touch in order to avoid duplicate efforts. Best regards, Yann. -- Free Software is good for you. -- Free Software is good for you.
