Debian source package of FSL
============================

The FSL sources are a mixture of free and non-free source code as well as
non-free datasets. Additionally it contains 3rd party software as sources
or in binary form. Most of this software is available as proper Debian
packages.

For these reasons and the huge size of the tarball ( approx. 1.1 GB) the
original sources were split into three individual source package: two packages
with source -- one free and one non-free each and one pure data package.

The data package was separated as it contains datasets that are very
unlikely to change between major releases or even less frequently. These
dataset are the biggest part of the sources (already more than one GB).

For the exact repackaging and split procedure, please look at the
'repackage-fsl' script in the Debian packaging of the Debian 'fslview' source
package.

This source package provides the non-free (non-commercial) source code of the
FSL suite.

Versioned FSL packages
----------------------

To allow multiple major FSL version to be installed concurrently versioned
binary packages (ala fsl-5.0-core) are built since 4.1.6-2. In addition, an
unversioned 'fsl-core' package is built that depends on the latest available
versioned package and provides symlinks to all FSL tools in /usr/bin.

All version-dependent packaging files are included in debian/templates/. The
'controlfiles' target in debian/rules is used to generate the actual control
files in debian/ from these templates.
