Hi, Here's my report for the duration of community bonding and week 1 for the GSoC project: Quality Assurance and Continuous Integration of Packages in Life Sciences and Medicine. Since I had already worked on autopkgtests for the last few months, I started working on more packages during the community bonding period itself to avoid delays later.
Here's all the work that has been accomplished in the GSoC period: Added/fixed examples, docs and autopkgtests: 1. hunspell-en-med <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/hunspell-en-med/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 2. ncbi-entrez-direct <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/ncbi-entrez-direct/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 3. parsnp <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/parsnp/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 4. fitgcp <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/fitgcp/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 5. tree-puzzle <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/tree-puzzle/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 6. filtlong <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/filtlong/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 7. cgview <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/cgview/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 8. libsmithwaterman <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/libsmithwaterman/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 9. transrate-tools <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/transrate-tools/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 10. biobambam2 <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/biobambam2/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 11. paml <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/paml/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 12. bandage <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/bandage/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 13. freebayes <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/freebayes/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 14. seer <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/seer/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 15. norsp <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/norsp/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> 16. gasic <https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/gasic/-/commits/master?author=Pranav%20Ballaney> <#bugs-fixed>Bugs fixed: 1. #954511 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=954511>: Build time tests were fixed in bioperl-run. 2. #960368 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=960368>: Kallisto now shows an error instead of a segmentation fault. 3. #806214 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806214> and #890790 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890790>: Build time tests had been failing in tree-puzzle for a long time. Upstream was contacted and it was confirmed that failure was only because the output files had not been updated for the last few versions. A patch was written to fix this issue. 4. #961013 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=961013> was also investigated for diamond-aligner, with limited success. It was found that the error was not specific to Debian packaging. The issue was narrowed down and a minimal dataset was created to help the upstream authords debug it. Findings were reported at the upstream issue tracker <https://github.com/bbuchfink/diamond/issues/351>. Looking forward to the rest of the GSoC period, especially with another CoViD-19 sprint also coming up! Thanks and regards, Pranav ᐧ
