[needs-packaging] PSKmail

[Alan Kepple]

Package request for PSKmail

description: PSKmail is a system that allows access to internet services such as email and web independent from infrastructure.
A sailboat on an ocean can read and send email, fetch weather reports, send direct messages and update the ships position through the APRS system. Friends and family can stay in touch and can also follow the ships movements seconds after position updates are sent from the ship.
PSKmail can provide access to internet services in rural and otherwise isolated areas.
Perhaps you'd like internet access on the North pole? No problem, pskmail provides that.
There are a lot of new Ubuntu users in the sail boating community and internet access from long range is a very important capability for them.

License: freeware
Notes: PSKmail uses the program fldigi to code and decode the digital radio signal. There is an unstable debian package for fldigi available

This request appears to have two parts:

1) sync fldigi from debian unstable
2) package PSKmail from http://pskmail.wikispaces.com/Download - it is under a GPL license ( http://pskmail.wikispaces.com/COPYING )

I think this is enough for a MOTU to be able to pick this up, then.

Thanks for taking a look at this.
The latest version of fldigi is now 2.10
The latest version of PSKmail is 0.6

I am setting this bug's status to Fix Released based on the software being packaged.
