[Neurodebian-devel] RE : Packaging of anatomist (was: Latest and greatest in visualization of MRI data?)

[RIVIERE Denis]

I completely agree on the idea of starting with something not too complex, so deal with a limited subset of our projects. Anatomist seems a good choice; however it already has a number of dependencies, both inside our framework (aims) and on external software (as stated in my previous message).
I also agree on dropping the VTK plugin for now, I understand the issues about VTK version (actually in my last attempt it was vtkINRIA3D which failed to build with VTK 5.6). (here I answer a part of your next message)
When the packaging of first basis works, then we can improve and add the missing plugins.
I don't completely catch the "off SVN repo" statement - do you mean that you would prefer getting the sources from SVN, then making tarballs, or the contrary ? Both are possible actually. The sources tarballs would correspond to each sub-project branch (everything in */4.0 or */trunk on the repo). There are several projects, so several tarballs to make, but it's really easy to do in a script. Do you need anything additionally to make the source packages ?

Thanks for the clarification. Now I wonder, what would be the best
strategy to approach a packaging. I looks like it would have to happen
off the SVN repo, but that has a large number of projects with (I guess)
lots of interdependencies. I fear that trying to package all of
brainvisa at once is a huge task that will take forever. I'd prefer to
tackle anatomist first to get some more experience with brainvisa. Is
there a way to turn the SVN repo content into _self-contained_ release
tarballs?

The reason I'm asking is that in the end I will create a Debian source
package that has a tarball of the source and I better compose it
properly...

Or did I get you wrong and you will eventually create these tarballs it
just didn't happen yet. If that is the case, do you think starting the
packaging now is not the best timing?

Thanks,

Michael
