I was first very confused as this not really medical... but it looks like debian-med is more about bioinformatics
The rationale behind this fact is that bioinformatics plays an important role in preclinical research. So we need this software in a good shape if we want to support all tasks in the field of medicine. The fact that this field seems to be dominant is a pure consequence of the availablity of free software in this field. Currently there is no separate Debian Bio project and we try to cover this here in Debian Med which has proven to be successfully for years.
and seqan sure fits in there. So leaving naming issues aside (which can be resolved at some later point when things are getting too messy) what needs to be done to turn this into a debian-med project? I started packaging in http://bollin.googlecode.com/svn/seqan/trunk/debian/ but there are still plenty issues.
I guess these questions were perfectly answered by Charles - feel free to ask on the Debian-Med list (which I would suggest to subscribe if you are working in this field) if some questions remain.
(note I am not a DD, so I depend on a sponsor)
You are welcome to ask on the list to ask for a sponsor. BTW, I added the info about seqan to the bio-dev task wich means that it will show up at http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio-dev.php after the next cron job run (12:00). Kind regards and welcome in the Debian Med team Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
