Hi Cyril,

I was not aware of the pkg-phototools group, but yes this seems an
appropriate location for openjpeg. I had previously seen
correspondence with Paul Hampson (who started this package) regarding
using openjpeg for a Gimp plugin and so i was aware there was general
interest.

I'm quite happy for the package to enter the pkg-phototools version
control system if that is what the group would like and finalise any
changes there. Currently I am hosting the package on my own (publicly
accessible) svn server, but it makes more sense for these packages to
move to alioth as they start to be finalised for/enter Debian.

PS: I am not currently subscribed to pkg-phototools so please CC me or
ensure a reply goes to debian-mentors (which i am subscribed).

Regards

Robin
