Subject: Re: How much interest in a "debian-science.org" repository? - msg#00005List: debian.scienceI could only find this wiki page http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/UnofficialRepository did you give up? Hope to hear from you, Emme On 7/19/06, Kevin B. McCarty <kmccarty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Dear list, Currently there are a fair number of repositories of science-related unofficial Debian packages out there. I've been thinking that it might make sense to consolidate them into a single site. This would have several advantages: - Permit convenient one-stop "shopping" for unofficial scientific .debs with only one sources.list entry (well, two counting deb-src) - Better PR for the unofficial .debs. Instead of a dozen different unofficial repositories, now only one would need to be publicized, perhaps with an obvious name like "www.debian-science.org". - Possibility of more complicated dependency graphs between unofficial packages - Possibility (someday) to set up a buildd network that can autobuild all the packages for various architectures - Testbed for packages that ultimately can enter Debian proper - Convenient unofficial source for packages that can't enter Debian, for whatever reason, as long as the maintainers had permission to distribute them I was talking to Brett Viren about the possibility to host CLHEP and GEANT4 .debs at his site, maintaining a repository for unofficial physics related packages. So the question is, would other Debian Scientists, in fields other than physics, also be interested in using this repository? The idea needs a lot of setup so probably not much will happen immediately; this email is mainly to gauge the amount of interest. best regards, -- Kevin B.

I personally don't have anywhere to host such a repository. (My post-doc is up in April so I will probably lose the use of the machine currently hosting my Geant4 .debs.) Not to put words in his mouth, but I understand that Brett Viren has space, but (as a national lab employee) is highly sensitive to the need for legal vetting of everything distributed from his web space. And some of the things that a debian-science effort might want to distribute (Lund Monte Carlo packages, CLHEP, etc.) don't currently have a clear legal status. I guess the basic issue for a science-specific repo is that anything DFSG-free can be packaged in Debian proper (eventually... look how long it's taking us to get ROOT in :-/ ), anything non-free but distributable with a proper license can go in Debian non-free, and no one wants to take the risk of hosting debs that have unclear legal status. best regards, -- Kevin B.
