Bug#1055504: ITP: laz-perf -- LAZperf is an alternative LAZ (Compressed LAS pointclouds) decoding implementation.

[Richard Duivenvoorde <richard@duiv.nl>]

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

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
