Hi, I'm currently doing a workshop about packaging GIS applications at Libre Software Meeting[1] and a participant came up with the idea to talk over Orfeo Toolbox into main Debian. I think this is a good idea and perfectly in line with the attempt to support UbuntuGIS packages. I have simply fetched the latest (hopefully?) *.dsc targeting at
dget https://launchpad.net/~otb/+archive/ubuntu/orfeotoolbox-staging-stable-ubuntugis/+files/otb_4.0.0-1otb1%7Etrusty2.dsc and injected the packaging to Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-grass/otb.git Some work was done in the direction of a Debian GIS compliant package to demonstrate the packaging in the Debian GIS team. However, the packaging remains with several lintian issues and I personally do not feel competent to solve them all since I do not have any idea about OTB. For instance it remains an open question whether we should move the set of /usr/bin/otbgui_* /usr/bin/otbcli_* files rather to /usr/lib/otbgui /usr/lib/otbcli and leave only the main executable (otbgui and otbcli) in /usr/bin and setting the PATH accordingly. At least from an uninformed point where I am this somehow sensible. I also do not feel really capable to finish and upload this package to Debian but if there is some volunteer with more insight into the package I would be happy to guide the furtherly needed work. Kind regards and thanks to the OTB team to provide OTB as free software Andreas.
