In the next days I plan to create projects in the debian git repo for
the following SW packages (each has an open ITP)

polsarpro: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606876
mapready: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606881
snaphu: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606882
gsdview: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606884

The idea is to put them all under the 

git.debian.org/git/pkg-grass

and set the Maintainer field of the control file to 

Debian GIS Project <pkg-grass-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>

Please let me know if there is some problem in doing this or if there
is some different idea.



Please also note that, for the polsarpro package (only), I will put
under VCS only the debian directory since polsarpro orig archive is
quite large (227M) and includes about 166M of PDF files, binaries (172M
unpacked) and also the ActiveTcl8.4.13.0.261555-win32.exe SW
distribution (21M).

Unfortunately a pure source code archive is not available.

Best regards
