Done, thanks. I also threw in some improvements to the copyright file that I'd meant to propose earlier: * Remove the stanza for (c++/)scripts/projects/xmlwrapp/*, whose LICENSE file documents material absent from the ncbi-blast+ archive. * Adjust other upstream-related stanzas' Files specifications to prefix c++/ and cover include in addition to src as appropriate. > For dir updates, be it ncbi-blast+ or ncbi-blast-plus, I would rather > like you update directly in my branch.

That's fair, and no problem -- quite the contrary, when I was starting to commit to ncbi-blast+ (before the Alioth glitch and your latest reply), I didn't split my changes into individual commits quite as cleanly as I'd meant to, so re-committing them in ncbi-blast-plus gave me a good opportunity to correct that. > Please tell me once you have included your updates so that I recheck the > package on my side. I have. Here are the remaining issues of which I'm aware, none of which should necessarily hold up an initial upload: * As previously mentioned, the linkage is still somewhat of a mess. * Also as mentioned, there are no individual manpages. * The standards version is slightly outdated; somebody should review the upgrading checklist to see if advancing it requires any packaging changes. * As I recall, there was some interest in incorporating RMBLAST, the patch for which risked changing the standard applications' behavior. I expect it should be possible to stay out of trouble by building it in a separate copy of the source tree and linking it statically against any patched libraries (and their reverse dependencies). > Regarding legacy, I prefered keeping it as separate package to avoid some > confusion and get it only if required on backward compatibility.
