Hi,

Since I've not found any debian packages I've created them for our internal DESY use.

If someone would like to have it is enough to add

deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://repos.pni-hdri.de/apt/debian stretch main

into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, e.g.

sudo su
wget -q -O - http://repos.pni-hdri.de/debian_repo.pub.gpg | apt-key add -
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
wget http://repos.pni-hdri.de/stretch-pni-hdri.list

and

apt-get update
apt-get install nexpy

for python2 or

apt-get update
apt-get install nexpy3

for python3.

I've created the following stretch packages:

nexpy, nexpy3, python3-nexpy, python-nexpy, nexusformat, python-nexusformat, python3-nexusformat, ansi2html, python-ansi2html, python3-ansi2html

I would be happy if someone else could managing the debian packages.

Thanks for the information. I don't have experience with Debian packages, but I know there are others in the NeXus community who do, so I'll ask if it is possible to maintain it and download it from the NeXus servers.

I've just created the above packages for ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) and put them into the HDRI repo. To install them, similarly like for jessie and stretch, one has to add the HDRI repo to the apt sources, i.e.:

sudo su
wget -q -O - http://repos.pni-hdri.de/debian_repo.pub.gpg | apt-key add -
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d

cat <<EOT >> bionic-pni-hdri.list
deb http://repos.pni-hdri.de/apt/debian bionic main
deb-src http://repos.pni-hdri.de/apt/debian bionic main
EOT

apt-get update 
apt-get install nexpy nexpy3

I've also upgraded the packages for stretch and jessie adding a patch with a workaround from #159. So, nexpy from these packages should not hang on close anymore.

Do you mind if I upload this package into Debian with your has maintainer ?

I can do this for most of the pni packages if you want.
I can not garantie to do this now but, if you are ok, I can start this process.
Or we agreed on a bunch of packages which can have an interest

[jkotan]

Yes, It would be great.

Can we discuss about this on the debian-science mailing list ?, In order to do review of the packages ?
Is it possible to use salsa.debian.org, in order to maintain the Debian packages ?

[jkotan]

I've just registered into debian-science@lists.debian.org and salsa.debian.org. Yes. We can discuss details on the mailing list.
