Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2005-01-10
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : BrlCAD
  Version         : 7.0.2

  Description     : A Combinatorial/Constructive Solid Geometry, solid modeling system

BRL-CAD is a powerful Combinatorial/Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG)
solid modeling system that includes an interactive geometry editor,
ray-tracing support for rendering and geometric analysis,
network-distributed framebuffer support, image and signal-processing
tools, and an embedded scripting language. It has been developed over
a 20 year period and is now a stable mature product. This is the 
first GPL'ed release of the package. It is being maintained by the
US Army Research laboratory (ARL).

Hi,

What's the current state of this ITP? Is there any,
preliminary package?

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

There is currently two open ITPs for the brlcad package (#289684
and #289632). Can you please determine which one of you will package it
for Debian (or if you are going to comaintain this package), set the
owners of the bugs accordingly and merge these two bugs?

Thanks.

An ITP and RFP open on the same software at the same time?  Sloppy...
I guess merely checking before opening new ITPs isn't enough and I
should do the same before renaming RFPs...  Well, first come first
serve, so I'll merge away mine.

As I said in my ITP, I was waiting for an reply to #349302.

Subject: WNPP bug closing

Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2007 11:59:52 -0700

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

 reopen 289632
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
289632@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Subject: Having trouble with brlcad

Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 11:54:20 -0500

Greetings,

BRL-CAD is a bit of a pain.  It wants tcl/tk 8.5 or 8.6, and can't work
with Debian's itcl because it links with tcl/tk 8.4.  But then BRL-CAD
can't work with the Debian tcl/tk 8.5 packages either.  I guess we'll
need to wait for itcl 3.3 upstream, but the RC was more than two years
ago...

Also, it took quite a bit of doing to get ADRT to build, and I can't get
it to do anything useful.  And it doesn't recognize that I have Java
installed.  And the IGES importer crashed on me.

If you can solve these problems, I'd love to help, this looks like a
great package!  But I think for now I'm going to leave BRL-CAD and focus
on Salomé...

Cheers,
-Adam

Subject: Is BrlCAD still going to be packaged?

Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 22:13:42 -0500

Hi,

Is anyone still considering packaging this? If it helps, there is a 
debian source package at http://scientificcomputing.net/ , it looks like 
he has version 7.10.2 packaged right now. Also, upstream released a 
binary deb of version 7.8.4, see 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105292&package_id=113559 
. It would be really nice to have this package in debian proper, even if 
it's an older version.

Thanks,
Tim

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "brlcad".

* Package name    : brlcad
  Version         : 7.12.4-1
  Upstream Author : Morrison, Christopher Sean  <morrison@brlcad.org>
                    U.S. Army Research Laboratory Point of Contact
                    Davisson,Edwin O.  <davisson@arl.army.mil>

* URL             : http://brlcad.org
* License         : GPL/LGPL/BSD
  Section         : graphics

It builds these binary packages:
brlcad     - powerful combinatorial Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG)
brlcad-data - brlcad data files
libbrlcad  - powerful combinatorial Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) library
libbrlcad-dev - powerful combinatorial Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) library

BRL-CAD is a powerful combinatorial Constructive Solid Geometry solid modeling
 system that includes interactive 3D solid geometry editing, high-performance
 ray-tracing support for rendering and geometric analysis, network-distributed
 framebuffer support, image and signal-processing tools, path-tracing and photon
 mapping support for realistic image synthesis, a system performance analysis
 benchmark suite, an embedded scripting interface, and libraries for robust
 high-performance geometric representation and analysis.
 .
 BRL-CAD supports a great variety of geometric representations including an
 extensive set of traditional CSG primitive implicit solids such as boxes,
 ellipsoids, cones, and tori, as well as explicit solids made from closed
 collections of Uniform B-Spline Surfaces, Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline
 (NURBS) surfaces, n-Manifold Geometry (NMG), and purely faceted mesh geometry.
 All geometric objects may be combined using boolean set-theoretic CSG
 operations including union, intersection, and difference.


The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 289632

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/brlcad
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/brlcad/brlcad_7.12.4-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
 Giuseppe Iuculano

Hi,

brlcad is quite complex as package so... co-maintainer(s) is(are) welcome.

The git repository is on alioth/collab-maint:
URL	git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/brlcad.git

	http://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/brlcad.git

At this moment, there are *a lot* of lintian warning that should be fixed:
# lintian -I brlcad_7.14.0+dfsg-1_amd64.changes | wc -l
583

Most of them are "hyphen-used-as-minus-sign", but I have also
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath, and a lot of script-not-executable and
executable-not-elf-or-script.

Cheers,
Giuseppe.

Packaging of brlcad requires more time then I have and code quality is
worse then I expected. So renaming this bug back to RFP.

I see that there are three RFP bugs open for BRL-CAD.
Two of them are already merged with each other; I am merging in the
third bug.

I hope someone will step in and convert these RFP bugs into an ITP bug!
Thanks for your time.

Bye.

Hello, there are already other three (merged) RFP bugs open for BRL-CAD.
I am merging this fourth bug with the others.

I hope someone will finally convert these bugs into ITP bugs and create
the package... Thanks to anyone who is willing to step in.

Currently, the official GitHub repo has the Linux_x86_64.tar.bz2 and tar.gz files.

I have no experience in packaging since I have only used apt so far. But if someone could tell me how to start, I might make an attempt. I cannot guarantee I will succeed, or that I can maintain it. It would depend on the difficulty as well, but I would like to try

I read that I would have to file an ITP on bugreport, but I don't know what to do after that. Or how to make a Debian package out of tar.
