Hi Andreas, I've managed to finish patch for metastudent (I've checked it several times and tried to make it to be compatible with old version of blast as well, although I didn't checked "studentC" part with legacy blast, only with latest version).
Some details on how I checked: I've run metastudent with --keep-temp part, after that looked at contents of temporary directory. If all goes fine, this directory contains 3 directories - "groupA", "groupB" and "groupC". They contain temporary files produced during stages A, B and C. If all goes fine, they contain actual data (graph nodes with their names, etc.), if not, these files are not empty, but contain just a template with no data in it. Results from patched metastudent and latest blast look similar to unpatched metastudent+legacy blast with the same version of metastudent-data package. Numeric results look similar, but I assumed that if they differ, the reason must be a difference in blast and legacy-blast implementation and didn't try to fix if some of numbers differ. I assume that this patch makes metastudent work with blast+ correctly.
