Hi Mike,<br>
<br>
it's really great to realise that there are more people interested in<br>
fis-gtm packaging and I really would like to support this attempt as<br>
far as it concerns the Debian packaging of it. Currently Luis Ibanez<br>
is working on it. If you want to read the full story of our work you<br>
will find (very longish - so you are warned) mails here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2012/02/threads.html" target="_blank">http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2012/02/threads.html</a><br>
<br>
Short summary: Luis who has good contacts to upstream tried to follow<br>
the strategy to build the upstream source which was enriched by some<br>
auto-generated files which are needed to avoid a depencency from a<br>
running fis-gtm system (which is not yet packaged and thus we can not<br>
yet Build-Depend from it). For some reasons this turned out to be<br>
quite complex because of the build system used. So Luis decided to<br>
rewrite the Build-System (as you obviosely noticed).<br>
<br>
The last mail about this issue is<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2012/03/msg00079.html" target="_blank">http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2012/03/msg00079.html</a><br>
<br>
So far for the summary. It was a very good idea to ask here on this<br>
list which is also read by Luis and please keep on discussing here (or<br>
at <a href="mailto:debian-med@lists.debian.org">debian-med@lists.debian.org</a> at your preference but in any case) in<br>
public to make sure others will stay informed about current development.<br>

</div>I'm a bit busy to try. Could you please be more verbose what<br>
exactly did not worked (error messages??).<br>

</div>This is prefectly in line whith what Luis is currently trying. Perhaps<br>
you could fix the build system together?<br>

</div>Many thanks for your interest and cooperation. We in the Debian Med<br>
team would be very happy to welcome you in the team because it sounds<br>
very reasonable to have two people who know FIS GTM build system. You<br>
will get all my support if it comes to Debian packaging issues to get<br>
the thing finally out as a package.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
