Dear EMBOSS developers, I just realised that EMBOSS uses a local copy of the zlib. Doing so is discouraged in large distributions like Debian and Fedora, where source code factorisation is an essential strategy for keeping thousands of packages up to date. I am tempted to apply to the Debian source package the patch that is already in use in Fedora, to use the system's zlib (now version 1.2.3.4, but version 1.2.5 is under way).
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/EMBOSS/devel/EMBOSS-6.2.0-system-zlib.patch?revision=1.1&view=markup Does EMBOSS depend on a specific modification of the zlib?
