Hi, Dr. Koren, I'm contacting you on behalf of the Debian Med team, a group within the Debian project that packages biological and medical software. You might be interested to see lists of the biological software we have made available in Debian [1-2].
I've been working on packaging the Pacific Biosciences' SMRTAnalysis suite and therefore came to the Celera assembler. Following Debian policy, we must build all packaged programs from source, and we have so far most of the dependencies of wgs-assembler in Debian. The only remaining dependencies I see missing are Falcon (and pbutgcns, but that does not appear to be essential). For the PBcR module, I see that the falcon_sense binary that you redistribute is not provided by the Falcon package anymore-- it exists in deprecated form as a python script--not a compiled executable---at <https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/FALCON/tree/master/src/py_scripts_v0.1> What do you recommend for this situation with Falcon? We just need to be able to build all the components from source. Many thanks and regards Afif 1. http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio 2. http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio-dev -- Afif Elghraoui | عفيف الغراوي http://afif.ghraoui.name
