1.2. Guidelines
The purpose of this repository is to provide software packaged for convenient installation on a Debian system that cannot be provided by the Debian Project itself. Guidelines for whether software may be provided from this repository are as follows:
Either CERN or the packager must have permission (either by license or directly from the upstream author) to distribute the software, including whatever modifications are necessary to package it.
The software must have some relevance to CERN and/or high-energy physics.
The software must not be of such poor quality that distributing it would damage CERN's reputation.
The software should be unsuitable to go into Debian proper (although it may be suitable for Debian's contrib or non-free repositories), for one or more of the following reasons:
- too non-free or no explicit license permitting the (re)distribution of modified versions (CLHEP)
- depends on other software not suitable for Debian (Geant4 depends on CLHEP)
- too large (for instance, big data files), although there is now a plan to allow these in Debian
- too few potential users (e.g. would only be used at CERN)
- too hard to make Policy-compliant packages
- unsupportable for the duration of a Debian stable release
1.3. Disclaimers
The software provided here is made available on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee anything about the software. It is provided with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
