volpack for Debian
------------------

The volpack package might be interesting for Debian-Med and provides
additional functionality for the amide image viewer

The source tarball was rebuilded to enable easy building of dynamically
and statically linked libraries.  The easiest way to do so is to use
automake and libtool.  The patch was forewarde to the author but for
the moment he prefers to stick to his own building system:

  I'm not entirely happy with the new build procedure since it doesn't work on the
  environment I use every day, and I haven't had a whole lot of time to look into it.  I
  haven't looked at the GNU build tools in a long time so there's a bit of a learning
  curve to figure out the issues.

I decided to change the orig.tar.gz tarball because I would consider
this as a welcome enhancement also for non-Debian users who might be
interested in just downloading this alternative package.  I wanted to
avoid mixing this up with other patches.

The process how to obtain this tarball is documented in the get-orig-source
target of debian/rules (which calls the script debian/get-orig-source and
applies the patch debian/get-orig-source.patch) so it can easily reproduced
if necessary.
