PB-1911 Add publiccode.yml #patch

[asteiner-swisstopo]

This was generated with a beta version of a tool developped by Puzzle ITC on behalf of the the Federal Chancelory: https://puzzle.github.io/publiccode-editor/

I added all I could imagine to be possibly of use, just to have a first example showcasing the possibilities.

Debatable:

• softwareVersion/releaseDate: Do we really want to add that? We would have to adapt the CI to update that automatically.
• usedBy: Probably better to keep that empty usage goes far beyond that.
• description: I just added the English version (en) but we could easily also add other languages (DE, FR, IT). Not sure if worth the effort though as the target audience is probably tech-savvy.
• longDescription: I did not invest much here, this is generated by an LLM.
• features: From the top of my head and probably too much already. Someone from support could certainly phrase this better.
• screenshots: Probably we could have a more representative screenshot, I just chose an iconic location that looks nice.
• videos: It's our most recent video about embedding with an iframe, so not really a good overview video. Unfortunately, the only overview video we have is over 7 years old and is not representative anymore.

I have adjusted the usage (usedby). Otherwise, it's OK for me.
In general, I'm just wondering whether it's really worth it now (we're going to freeze the code for the viewer soon anyway / change the tech docs / etc.) and whether it wouldn't be better to start the publiccode.yaml with the new SWISSGEO viewer right away.

Thanks! I have removed the usedBy as "Various federal offices" is not specific enough to match its definition.

You are right that the moment is not ideal. The OSS catalog by the chancellery is going to be publicly announced at the beginning of December, so it's going to be in Swisstopo's interest to be listed there even if some things might change soon. Also, we can reuse this file as a template for SWISSGEO. So I propose to merge this anyway.

For the record: We cannot merge this to develop before the next deploy in November because of a temporary change in the CI.

The CI was adapted such that it is compatible with branch develop_typescript, so the build here fails in stage building_deploying with:

[Container] 2025/10/20 12:52:12.458485 Running command ${DEPLOY_SCRIPT} -s ${DEPLOY_TARGET} -l ./packages/viewer/dist/${BUILD_TYPE_1} ${TEST_LINK} --no-profile
[0;31m--local-src ./packages/viewer/dist/dev must point to an existing directory[0m

The change in the CI is going to be reverted by @pakb on the next deploy around the beginning of November. That is when we can relaunch the build of our branch here and merge to develop.
