[Hamara-devel] climate-data packages in debian

[shirish]

Hi all,
There are quite a few climate-science packages which are in Debian. I do 
not know whether this is something we want to get into because this is 
actually 'big data' in every sense of the word.

There are also quite a number of packages in almost every field of 
science and humanities and arts which are free software and not yet 
packaged.

I am just restraining myself till the initial .iso comes and then 
possibly will be sharing all of those.
