Sure - we talked about this at DebConf last year and I also remember the reasons you mentioned why you are not using packaged versions. It would be stupid if I would try to argue about your workflow at Sanger which has proven to be reasonable. (I'm probably biased but I think that providing software in packages and enabling users to pin on a certain version leads do better reproducable results than local builds.)
What I can do to help, if not packaging directly, is act as a liaison with the people actually developing the stuff you want. For example, I know the authors of both SSAHA and Artemis quite well. I've been periodically asking Zemin to alter SSAHA2 so that it can be made DFSG-compliant, and he agrees in principle, it's just a case of his group actually finding the time to do it. I'll ping him again about it.
This help would be really appreciated! Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
