GeoClue - The Geoinformation Service
Geoclue is a modular geoinformation service built on top of the D-Bus
messaging system. The goal of the Geoclue project is to make creating
location-aware applications as simple as possible.
Geoclue is developed for Linux, but should be portable to any platform
that uses D-Bus.
Geoclue defines a set of geoinformation APIs, but it also includes some
providers that implement those APIs. Here is a list of services provided
through Geoclue with the currently included implementations:

a) Position
    gpsd, gypsy, hostip, plazes, gsmloc
b) Address
    hostip, plazes, manual, localnet
c) Velocity
    gpsd, gypsy
d) Geocode
    geonames, yahoo
e) ReverseGeocode
    geonames

Geoclue source code contains:

    * D-Bus definitions for the above APIs
    * C bindings for Geoclue clients
    * C bindings for data providers
    * a set of provider implementations
    * (experimental) master provider implementation.

Possible data sources
    * Google Maps Geocoding API -- License says "only for showing places
on Google Maps"
    * Wigle.net-- WIFI location database (10 million networks). License
requires users to login.
    * geocoder.us -- geocoder for the USA (TIGER data)
    * gsmloc-provider could easily get the GSM information using AT
commands on the OpenMoko platform
    * We really should have a free network location database (like
gsmloc.org, but for WLAN, GSM, BT, ethernet gateway, ..
          o What about opencellid?

I have completed packaging for geoclue.

http://www.integralblue.com/debian/

You can find the .diff.gz, .dsc, and .orig.tar.gz (which was downloaded
from http://folks.o-hand.com/~jku/geoclue-releases/geoclue-0.11.1.tar.gz )
there.

Can someone please review this?

Description:
Geoclue is a modular geoinformation service built on top of the D-Bus
messaging system. The goal of the Geoclue project is to make creating
location-aware applications as simple as possible.

It builds these binary packages:
geoclue, libgeoclue0, libgeoclue-dev, geoclue-manual, geoclue-hostip,
geoclue-plazes, geoclue-gpsd, geoclue-geonames, geoclue-gsmloc,
geoclue-localnet, geoclue

The package is almost lintian clean. Some man pages are missing.

The upload would fix these bugs: 505255 (ITP).

The package can be found on my site

Thanks a lot for reviewing (and hopefully uploading) this package!
~Craig

This package is incorrectly generated: the diff.gz patches debian/ files
which are already in the tar.gz.  If you replace the orig.tar.gz with a
fresh copy downloaded from freedesktop.org and rebuild the package the
diff.gz should be correctly generated.

Thanks Ross - I've regenerated the diff.gz and uploaded the new version.

changelog:
Incorrect version (should be 0.11.1-1). Missing a newline between the
version and the details.

README.Debian:

Remove it's pointless.

libgeoclue-dev.install:

This is shipping the example binaries, which are described as being in
geoclue-example in control.

geoclue.install:

/usr/share/doc/gtk-doc should be in the -dev package, as it's API
reference.

control

You don't need to add libdbus-glib and libgconf to Depends,
shlibs:Depends will do that.  geoclue-example is described as containing
example programs yet contains a backend.

geoclue-geonames.install:

This installs the geoclue-gpsd backend binary

compat:

Bump to 5

rules:

version and major are not used, remove.  I'd suggest using CDBS but that
is up to you. :)

geoclue-localnet.install

Again, installs the gpsd binary


I'll build it in a pbuilder shortly, if it works I'll try and sponsor it
soon.

Thanks, Ross. I've just uploaded a new .diff.gz and .dsc that fixes the
