Homepage: http://www.gmod.org/wiki/index.php/GBrowse I have made a draft package for my own use at work and uploaded it in Debian-Med's SVN. (http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med/trunk/packages/gbrowse) Gbrowse needs bioperl 1.5.2 which is not yet available in Debian (work in progress...) Moreover, I have a few older ITPs to finish first. But if you are interested in Gbrowse, please contact me in private: I can change my priorities.

In the long term, maybe Debtags could be useful for this... -- Charles Plessy -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
