Hi,
as you might have noticed by my SVN commits for BioPython I have done
some effort to run all possible tests of the testsuite shipped with
BioPython. I also tried to get autopkgtest working since I consider all
possible tests we can provide as an important service for letting
scientist create reproducible results.
For making all those tests we need to Build-Depend from a lot of our
Debian Med maintained packages - nice to see that we have quite a good
coverage of all those tools. (The situation is a bit different for
PyCogent, but I will report about this in a different mail.)
Now I'm wondering how to deal with all these tools used by BioPython and
PyCogent which are called in the according test suites and mentioned in
Build-Depends. I personally think that we should add these to
Recommends since we should make sure that all functionalities are
supported once a user is installing BioPython / PyCogent. However, some
people might argue that their system might be bloated by packages they
are not really using. I personally would not share this opinion but I'm
also no user of these toolsets and thus I wonder what you as potential
user might think about this.
If I do not get any opinions I will upload with Recommends identical
to Build-Depends.
Kind regards
Andreas.
