  Description     : LAZperf is an alternative LAZ (Compressed LAS pointclouds) decoding implementation.

It supports compilation to WASM via Emscripten so that LAZ data can be decoded in a browser.
LAZperf is a dependecy for the PDAL library (https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/).
PDAL can be used as a library for QGIS (https://qgis.org) to be able to read/analyze point clouds.

I'm planning to maintain both LAZperf and PDAL with the science packaging team.

If I'm correct I'm also looking for a sponsor. But I'm very new to Debian packaging, so every help is appreciated

Hi Gürkan,

Just found out that LAZperf is not a dependency of PDAL because sources in taken into PDAL itself.

But I'm still interested in trying to package LAZperf itself too, IF others think it is useful.

If you say: "I prefer uploads to mentors.d.n" do you mean NOT in the science packaging team or do you mean something else?
Reason I choose science packaging team is because the former package of PDAL proposed that.

I'm very green in this, so please bare with me

Hi Richard,

Actually I am not sure if cloudcompare really supports it, but if it does (I can take a look at it), it’d be very useful
to load LAZ (compressed LAS files), which are common, and I have users that need this feature.

The packaging team is fine. Take a look at mentors.debian.net <http://mentors.debian.net/>
It is just about the source package you have, you’d upload it to this place, but any url, or even packaging at salsa.debian.org <http://salsa.debian.org/> is fine,
so tell me if/when you have something.
Glad to hear, looking forward….
