This is not getting us ready for 3.0, it mostly fixes some of the obvious
errors in there that were correct for Subsurface 2.1 but clearly are no
longer true (like the suggestion to specifically check out libdivecomputer
0.2.0).

Subsurface - an Open Source Divelog
===================================
In fall of 2011, when a forced lull in kernel development gave him an
opportunity to start on a new endeavor, Linus Torvalds decided to tackle
his frustration with the lack of decent divelog software on Linux.
Subsurface is the result of the work of him and a team of developers since
then. It now supports Linux, Windows and MacOS and allows data import from
a large number of dive computers and several existing divelog programs. It
provides advanced visualization of the key information provided by a
modern dive computer and allows the user to track a wide variety of data
about their diving.
Subsurface is able to track multi-tank dives with air, Nitrox or TriMix,
weights and exposure protection used, dive masters and dive buddies and
allows the user to rate dives and provide additional dive notes. It
calculates a wide variety of statistics of the user's diving and
calculates and tracks information like SAC rate or OTU.
Subsurface is able to track multi-tank dives with air, Nitrox or
TriMix. It keeps track of equipment like weights and exposure
protection used, tracks the dice locations (if available including GPS
fixes), dive masters and dive buddies and allows the user to rate
dives and provide additional dive notes. It calculates a wide variety
of statistics of the user's diving and calculates and tracks
information like SAC rate, partial pressures of O2, N2 and H2,
calculated deco information, and many more.
Subsurface allows the user to print out a detailed log book including dive
profiles and other relevant information. The program is localized in about
a dozen languages and well supported by an active developer community. In
fall of 2012 Dirk Hohndel has taken over as Subsurface maintainer.

Building subsurface under Linux
-------------------------------

You need libxml2-devel, libxslt-devel, gtk2-devel, glib-2.0,
gconf2-devel, libssl-devel, libsoup-devel to build this (and
libusb-1.0 if you have libdivecomputer built with it, but then you
obviously already have it installed). Check with your Linux
distribution how to install these packages.
On Debian the package names are different; try libxml2-dev libgtk2.0-dev
libglib2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libssl-dev libsoup2.4-dev, but it seems
the cairo package at least in Squeeze is too old.
You also need to have libdivecomputer version 0.2 installed, which goes
something like this:
You also need to have libdivecomputer installed. The current git
versions of Subsurface assume that you use libdivecomputer version
0.3, which goes something like this:
git clone \

cd libdivecomputer
git checkout v0.2.0
git checkout v0.3.0
autoreconf --install
./configure
