Hi all, I am the maintainer of the packages wcslib and wcslib-contrib which both start from the same source tarball. The version and release numbers are currently identical.
The wcslib package builds everything that can be built without non-free packages, while the -contrib package depends on PGPLOT and builds the remaining stuff (and is not in main, but in contrib). Both build library packages: wcslib --> libwcs5 wcslib-contrib --> libpgsbox5 Now, I found and packaged the "giza" library which is basically a free drop-in-replacement for pgplot. I would now like to merge the two source packages into one. Can I just do that, create a new version of wcslib that includes a new version of libpgsbox5? Since strictly spoken contrib is not a part of Debian, this should be not violate the policy, right? And since I would then (ask to) remove the old wcslib-contrib package, everything should be smoothly for the users. Or do I miss something? What is the best recommendation here? Best regards Ole
