Have any of you two perused the Debian packaging work?
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xtide/xtide_2.8.2-3.diff.gz

Surprise, surprise, it's an all-in-one package. Except for wvs-data,
which they ship as an optional xtide-data (trimmed down by 7M). They
include a minimal set of harmonics data, btw.

[...]

Upstream's requirement to break the ABI/API so soon after you had
created a shared library forces libtcd to become static. Unless you
try to talk to David Flater about whether maybe he accepts patches
and what he thinks about separating libtcd into a separate tarball.

tideEditor makes only sense to be put into an own sub-package if you
insist on doing that because of its Qt requirement. However, it does
not make sense to merge it with tcd-utils or to put the small utils
into a separate package when a) you include them in the xtide src.rpm
anyway and b) they are linked statically.
