  Description     : Computes the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram for unevenly sampled time series. Includes a randomization procedure to obtain reliable p-values.

Function lsp computes the Lomb-Scargle periodogram for unevenly
sampled time series (e.g., series with missing data). P-values for
the highest peak in the periodogram are computed from the exponential
distribution. Alternatively, function randlsp computes a p-value for
the largest peak in the periodogram by repeatedly randomising the time-
series sequence. Both functions allow setting the range of frequencies
to be inspected, as well as the stepsize (oversampling factor) used
for frequency scanning.

Hi Ben,

OK, good that this is settled.

You can check the bug page[1] and you should have received an e-mail
that the bug was created.  (As I said there is also a script
itp_from_debian_dir which fills in all the questions for you when
calling in the Git repository - but from a pedagocial point of view its
correct that you did this step at least once manually.)
packaging.  From the existence of this repository *nothing* will happen.
A Debian Developer (like me) needs to upload it to the new queue and
than we need to wait for the new processing by ftpmaster.  Currently
this takes about 1-3 days.

But if *you* want to be the maitainer of the package you need to get
a login on salsa.debian.org and become a member of the team.

Currently there is my Copyright for the packaging (autoinjected) and I'm
also changelog owner and Uploader (in d/control).  I'd prefer if you add
yourself to Uploaders if you intend to maintain this package.  You should
also insert the ITP bug number into d/changelog.  Once you have done this
I will upload the package.

Yes sure.  The itp_from_debian_dir script is copying this verbosely.

That was my point to deliver this example.  There is no need to worry
about copying stuff.  Finally everything was autogenerated.

That's your decision.  I'm not sure what you want to approach.  I think
once the package is officially available it is not the best idea to have
competing packages hanging around.

There is no real conflict between your ppa and the Debian repository, IMHO.

Kind regards

    Andreas.
