Add ImageJ to ArcheOS 5 #41

Closed lucaarcteam closed 10 years ago

lucaarcteam commented 11 years ago

ImageJ is a software we wanted to add into ArcheOS 5 since long. Here is the official website: http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/ We have to check that the software is working with free java options.

lucaarcteam commented 11 years ago

The software is already present i the official Debian repository. For an archaeological use of the software, is possible to read this article (Italian): http://www.perseo.lettere.unipd.it/workshop08/lib/exe/fetch.php?id=atti&cache=cache&media=workshop08:proceedings:04_ws3_pd2008_pesce.pdf

Perhaps also consider Fiji:

Fiji is an image processing package. It can be described as a distribution of ImageJ (and ImageJ2) together with Java, Java3D and a lot of plugins organized into a coherent menu structure. Fiji compares to ImageJ as Ubuntu compares to Linux.

Or maybe better is ImageJ2:

a new version of ImageJ for the next generation of multidimensional image data, with a focus on scientific imaging. Its central goal is to broaden the paradigm of ImageJ beyond the limitations of ImageJ 1.x, to support the next generation of multidimensional scientific imaging.

I agree with this, FIji and ImageJ2 are better than imageJ (at least for fiji, I never test imageJ2). The main issue is that only Imagej is packaged for Debian right now. So if we change, we'll have to maintain the package ourselves. So even if it's a good idea I guess it's not worth it for now. If you wish to get involved deeper in the project it's maybe a good place (fidji package) to start but IMHO it's not critical. Rstudio is more "high priority" for exemple.

I'm happy to help with getting RStudio in the OS, as I use that heavily, and I think others do also. How do I start?

rjanvier commented 10 years ago

Hello Ben, sorry for the late reply and thank for your help.

First you need to set up a proper Debian environment. ArcheOS 5 is based on Debian 7. You can work either on Debian or on ArcheOS (by building the iso first).

then you can start by reading the debian policy if you are non familiar with and also the new maintainer's guide.

The good news about RStudio is that there is already a .deb package maintained by RStudio guys. Now, the bad new is it's not an official Debian package and it's not in Debian' repo. We'll need to create a source package from their own package.

I will be glad to help, but i will not really have some spare time before october. Meanwhile don't hesitate to ask some questions.

Thanks very much for those pointers. I use Debian on a VM, but am not familiar with the policies and guides, thanks for the links, quite a lot to read!
