Dear all, I take the liberty of relaying the message below to the main Debian Med mailing list.
As I can understand, the "orthanc" package was rejected yesterday by the FTP master because of the presence of the source of 3 third-party JavaScript components that are not packaged in Debian yet (namely, Date.js, jQuery and jQuery Mobile), as well as the presence of the source code of civetweb: https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/orthanc/-/tree/master/debian/JS https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/orthanc/-/tree/master/debian/ThirdPartyDownloads There is no licensing issue here. The JavaScript components have been present in the source of the "orthanc" package for more than 4 years, and Orthanc embedded interface only works with jQuery Mobile version 1.1.0 (yes, this will obviously be the subject of criticism, but this interface was developed in 2011). The dependency on mongoose, then on civetweb has also been present since the origin of the package back in 2012. This is a message to beg for help on this topic. I don't have the time to do more Debian packaging, besides maintaining the packages of the Orthanc core and official plugins. Is there anyone willing to provide help? Otherwise, I fear I'll have to orphan all this 8-year-long work on Orthanc. I thank you in advance, Sébastien- -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [Debian-med-packaging] orthanc_1.7.2+dfsg-2_amd64.changes REJECTED Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2020 19:28:29 +0200 From: Sébastien Jodogne <[email protected]> To: Thorsten Alteholz <[email protected]> CC: Andreas (Debian) <[email protected]>, Debian Med Packaging Team <[email protected]> Hello Thorsten, I'm sorry, but I do not understand this rejection. The only NEW subpackages are related to the shared library for the Orthanc plugins, and this rejection blocks any further development of Orthanc in Debian. This is completely disheartening to me, given the full weeks I've been spending on Debian packaging. Please could you someone help and provide assistance? I am not able to package yet new packages, as I am also the upstream developer of Orthanc, that is by itself a very large ecosystem. I do my best to try and provide useful packages related to free software for healthcare in these COVID times (Orthanc is notably used to handle CT scans of the lungs), but all these rejections since May seem to indicate that I'm definitely too stupid to be part of the Debian community. Thanks in advance, Sébastien- Le dim. 13 sept. 2020 à 19:00, Thorsten Alteholz <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> a écrit : Hi Sebastien, please don't hide software in debian/* but create separate source packages instead. Thanks! Thorsten === Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our concerns.
