Anyway, I just had a look. The packaging now looks basically good. One issue I still have with the package is the big number of non-standard binaries in /usr/bin. Is it really necessary to have all the binaries as user-accessible binaries in /usr/bin? Or are many of the binaries just called from another (or other) binaries which serve as the primary UI? What also bugs me are the generic names of the binaries. Plotstuff, merge-index, tablist, tabsort, checktree, ... This all sounds not much like astronomer stuff. So, I would prefer to split the binaries into two groups: - UI binary (or binaries) into /usr/bin - Helper binaries into /usr/share/astrometry/bin There's also still the issue with usr/lib/astrometry/libbackend.so. If that's really a shared lib, it should be called cygbackend.dll and should reside in /usr/bin. If the binaries are using it, they should also be linked against it, rather than being linked statically.
