Hi, I'm writing you on behalf of the Debian Med team which is a group inside Debian with the objective to package free software in the field of medicine and life science for official Debian. I've got a user request to install CCT[1] which seems to be a promising alternative to brig[2].
I have downloaded the whole zip archive[3] from the installation page. I noticed that the download file does not feature any version number which is generally not the best choice. Users have no chance to know whether this version is newer than what they downloaded before except downloading again and compare the content. I'd recommend to rather use something like cgview_comparison_tool_2017_09_19.zip or something like this since I've found an (empty) file RELEASE-2017_09_19 which is probably the version of CCT. Content wise I wonder whether there is any chance to download only your own code + tests. For instance in the directory bin/ there are lots of JAR files which all are just packaged for Debian and we will not use these since Debian prefers the packaged version which we are shipping including source code over some "random" binaries. Also the dir lib contains third party Perl code which is otherwise packaged for Debian. So what would help would be some alternative download option - may be in some Git repository you might use where you can set release tags, which only contains your own code which we could package for Debian. Kind regards and thanks for providing CCT as Free Software in any case Andreas.
