Bug#421703: ITP: caret -- Computerized Anatomical Reconstruction and Editing Toolkit

Package: wnpp

  Upstream Author : Washington University School of Medicine

  Description     : Computerized Anatomical Reconstruction and Editing Toolkit

 This software allows for viewing and manipulating surface reconstructions of
 the cerebral and cerebellar cortex, viewing volumes and for displaying
 experimental data on the surfaces and volumes.

 Caret can download and use stereotaxic atlases (human, monkey, mouse and rat)
 from an open online database.

I already started packaging and discovered some issues which should be
solved before the package is suitable for Debian.

 - Upstream requires registration prior to source download. However this
   registration is free and provides the users immediately with a
   password to the password-protected download area. It looks like
   upstream uses this procedure to maintain some user statistics. I'm
   going to point them the Debians popcon and ask whether I can include
   username and password in debian/watch to get uscan working properly.
 - Two source files contain statements about patented code. It looks
   like the relevant files were derived from VTK4. The corresponding

New netcdf packages in experimental

NetCDF-using package maintainers,

I have had new NetCDF packages uploaded to experimental. Probably the biggest 
change is that they use gfortran instead of g77 for building the Fortran 
code. I don't believe that any of the packages using netcdf as a build-dep 
actually use the Fortran API and should not be affected by the change.

The following packages build depend on the NetCDF library:
dx
gdal
genesis
gmt
grace
grace6
gri
kst
labplot
minc
nco
netcdf-perl
octave2.1-forge
octave2.9-forge
python-scientific

If you are responsible for any of these packages, could you please try to 
build them against the netcdf library in experimental? If you have problems, 
I will be more than happy to help find and fix the issue.

If I am missing any packages, please let me know.

packages newer in Ubuntu than in Debian

Hi Package Maintainers (DD's and non-DD's),

Now that Etch is released to stable, many package maintainers have
already updated their packages to the newest upstream releases.  That is
of course very good.

However, some packages have no working debian/watch file, and then it is
not always easily seen whether there are newer upstream releases
available for these packages.  I suggest to add/update debian/watch with
your next updates of your packages.  Non-DD's are welcome to ask help
for that on debian-mentors <at> lists.debian.org .  Hint: test the
debian/watch file with "uscan --report-status".

Another approach for identifying packages to be updated in Debian to
newer upstream releases is by comparing Debian with Ubuntu.  Here is a
list of packages that are newer in Ubuntu than in Debian, grouped by
maintainer:
http://people.debian.org/~bartm/borg/outdated.html

I call these package maintainers to update these packages in Debian
soon.  The corresponding package in Ubuntu might help you to solve
tricky new things, and this might be an opportunity to join efforts with
the Ubuntu maintainer to reduce duplicate effort. Non-DD's are welcome
to request a sponsor on debian-mentors <at> lists.debian.org .

Sponsors might want to watch these pages to select packages to sponsor:

The first package in your list shows that you're not handling epochs
properly.  1.0~rc1-13 vs 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.  Debian isn't out of date
here.  You need to ignore epochs.
