Dear Steffen, There is something I did not understand about Taverna: is it only for programs written in Java, and do the programs have to be written explicitely for Taverna? I have been listing many packages relevant to bioinformatics, and a fair number are written in Java. If they can be used through Taverna, just tell me what are the relevant informations you need, and I will submit a summary. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScienceBiology However, Java is Terra Incognita for me, and I am already busy packaging multiple alignment software, so I will keep focusing on alignment. This leads me to a question: you are the maintainer of t-coffee, and the new release introduces a new tool, m-coffee, that I would like to see in Debian. If you want to concentrate on you new project, I can submit an upgrade for t-coffee within one or two months. http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2006/04/msg00007.html Have a nice WeekEnd, -- Charles Plessy Wako, Saitama, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
