Hi, I prepared a Debian package from your new version of MUMmer. To build the packages I had to do some pathces which I want to foreward to you with this mail. All patches are available from our SVN at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med/trunk/packages/mummer/trunk/debian/patches/?rev=0&sc=0 Explanation of the patches ("sm" means done by Steffen Moeller, "at" means done by Andreas Tille = me): 01sm_docs.diff: Build pdf instead of dvi which seems to be more convinient these days. 01sm_src_kurtz.diff: Makefile polishing. 01sm_src_tigr.diff: Besides some minor stuff in the Makefile it is probably the most important patch that fixes a buffer overflow and should definitely applied very soon. This is the most important patch for all users of MUMmer. 02at_Makefile.diff: Makefile polishing. 02at_docs_web.diff: Debian is not allowed to distribute the documentation files because they are copyrightet. So I replaced the links to local files to the representation of the files in the net. I'm not sure whether this patch is reasonable for your distribution. In any case you should make sure that it is OK to ship the docs and your code in one file because the licenses of code and doc are very different. 02at_scripts.diff: Because csh scripts would add some extra Dependency of a C-shell implementation to the Debian package these scripts are deprecated. That's why Steffen and me ported your csh scripts to POSIX shell. Feel free to take this over into your distribution as replacement or in addition to your scripts. The Makefile that installs shell and perl scripts was made much simpler - you can change this easily in case you would like to stay with C-Shell (which is your decision for sure. Feel free to ask me for providing the changed files explicitely or to provide the patches directly in an archive in kind you have trouble accessing our SVN reporitory. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
