[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#777000: ITP: limereg -- Lightweight Image Registration. Commandline application for image registration (automatically aligning two images with similar content).

Tue Feb 10 18:24:04 UTC 2015

Added cc to debian-med.

I personally disagree with your statement on medical image registration. I
believe both fast and sophisticated registration tools can live together.
Your package would fit perfectly in d-science or d-med, if not both.

Regarding your naming scheme, I have nothing against it. However, if your
project becomes a large library associated with an executable, you might
want to consider using limereg (source package name), liblimereg (shared
object), liblimereg-dev (symlinks + headers), liblimereg-dbg (debug
symbols) and liblimereg-tools or liblimereg-bin (executables). Your call.

I would also suggest to finalize the separation between executable and
library first before doing the packaging.

Before actually finding a sponsor, you'd need to prepare the packaging
somewhere, in your personal or chosen debian team git repository for
instance, and make sure it is of sufficient quality for an upload (using
tools like Lintian). Then, you will file an RFS bug, which will point
prospective sponsors to the location of your packaging and give them
instructions on how to build and test the resulting binary packages.

Hope that helps.
