I've checked what you do, and AFAICT all is well. So long as the
patch-introduced bin/snakemake is never installed, I think all is well. One
note on the patch: that's an auto-generated binary you've patched in, which has
a bunch of stuff hard-coded (versions etc). This will break with the next
version, and be a real pain to keep the patch up to date. I've pushed a
functionally equivalent but more general patch, which should be better.

All seems well with a simple workflow of mine, so it *should* all work fine.
Fingers crossed!

That's been there since 1.1 I think, and is AFAICT example code for an
alternative, non-packaged API that mimics the zlib API. It could be packaged
under libzstd-dev:usr/share/doc/libzstd-dev/examples or something, like I've
seen with a few development packages. Otherwise, I think nuking the sources or
just removing them from the makefile is fine. Though from memory, anything
compiled from these is not installed, so no action is probably also OK.

AFAICT, running make in the package repo (i.e. unpatched upstream source)
doesn't touch ./zlibWrapper, and none of the debian packages seem to have any
trace of these sources. So I'm not sure, but I think any action (including
doing nothing) should be fine, as these sources are inconsequential to any
output, compiled or otherwise. What does the DFSG say about sources that are
not compiled? They're in d/copyright anyway, IIRC FTPMASTER bounced me last
update for this exact issue, and I added them.


Happy hacking all!

Well that turned out to be far easier than I expected. I've pushed a patch that
uses libssw from debian. So let's see if this fixes the build. And we also need
to remove the old binary pkgs from the archive, I think (or whatever the reason
is for the package being stuck in sid).

I've packaged the latest upstream, and uploaded. Let's see if this fixes the

libssw. There are also old binary packages preventing a testing transition,
which I'm not sure how to deal with.

I raised this with upstream in [1]. They seem to think that it is required for
building the docs. Perhaps we can consult w/ upstream and see if we can
convince them to use non-minified sources. I see little need for their docs to
use size-optimised JS, at least within debian.

There are also some compiled Flash objects (*.swf).

Hi Andreas,

It appears I have got SeqAn to build. Looks as though they changed the name of
one of their seqan-specific cmake options. I fixed d/rules and the build
appears to succeed. However the only machine I currently have access to that
has sufficient RAM & disk space is running Ubuntu 14.04, and therefore the
lintian is way out of date. So I can't comment as to the correctness and
cleanliness of the package, but I've pushed my change.

My apologies, this week is very busy. I've pulled the repo, and will try

>From my somewhat limited experience, the 1.x -> 2.x changes are quite
fundamental. Like introducing entirely ways of doing certain things, e.g. any
sequence file IO. I think that you're correct for trivial uses or changes that
are easily handled with sed (and we should patch away to our hearts' content).
But I am almost certain that there will be packages where much manual work is
required as API changes are non trivial.

There are also these facts to consider:

  a), seqan 1.x is on it's final minor release, and shouldn't be needing much
  updating at least from upstream.
  and b), upstream tool developers will *eventually* have to move to 2.x of
  their own accord and having the folks who wrote the tools do the API
  transition is better for all concerned.

All in all, I think that having seqan 1.x in Stretch makes sense. Certainly, we
should deprecate it, and be proactive encouraging upstreams to migrate to 2.x,
but the burden of fixing a few GCC 6 FTBFS sounds a lot less to me than
patching a bunch of tools that are stuck with the 1.x API.

All $0.02's welcome, I'm hardly an expert in any of this. (Particularly ping
@mr-c)

Andreas/Michael may remember differently, but from memory we will have:

- SeqAn 1.x in src:seqan -> seqan-dev (only, no apps)
- SeqAn 2.x in src:seqan2 -> libseqan2-dev  and seqan-apps (and one day -doc)

So yes, I agree with you. Seqan 1.x (i.e. src:seqan) should be made to build
correctly and not get booted from testing (and git should be reverted such that
it contains only 1.x). Especially while the likes of bowtie & tophat rely upon
them. (Though for smaller tools, providing patches to get them to build with
seqan 2.x shouldn't be monumentally difficult and should be qulte
upstream-able).

Doh! I was actually working on this on the plane yesterday. The doc build kind
of works once the dependencies are fulfilled. I have a (apparently stalled)

I propose a couple of options:

1: We can drop the docs package, upload 2.0.1 with just libseqan-dev and get a
   modern seqan into Debian now. Then deal with the docs at a later date (once
   DPMT uploads packages etc).

2: Just keep the python deps under Debian Med and make a seqan-docs-dev package
   containing their custom python module and associated javascript. This would
   get the docs in sooner, but seems a bit of a kludge to me (and goes against
   the DPMT's request to maintain the python deps in their team, which I think
   we can all agree is where they belong).

You may have figured I would prefer option 1 above for now. I can help with
this next week.

On a separate note, what do you think of the idea of having a different binary

Bug#791395: ITP: wgsim -- Simulate whole-genome sequencing data

2015-07-04 Thread Kevin Murray
package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: 'Kevin Murray' s...@kdmurray.id.au

*Package Name : wgsim
 Version : 0.3.1-r13
 Upstream Author : Heng Li
*URL : https://github.com/lh3/wgsim
*License : MIT
*Description :  wgsim simulates sequencing reads from a reference genome.

Wgsim is a small tool for simulating sequence reads from a reference genome.
It is able to simulate diploid genomes with SNPs and insertion/deletion (INDEL)
polymorphisms, and simulate reads with uniform substitution sequencing errors.
It does not generate INDEL sequencing errors, but this can be partly
compensated by simulating INDEL polymorphisms.

 Hi Kevin,

 please note that I'm forwarding my answer to the list.  I would always
 advise to send questions like yours to the list since it enhances your
 chances to get an answer more quickly.  Please always remember that
 Debian Med is a team and not a single person.

Apologies, I absent-mindedly replied to you personally again. I'll endeavour to
group-reply in future.

  I've added a get-orig-source rule to d/rules, which wgets a tarball using 
  the
  github API. This tarball is specific to the git SHA hash of upstream's 
  current
  master, which defined version 0.994 (i.e., will always download the same
  content, even if upstream's master changes). I hope this is acceptable.

 As a temporary solution until upstream might be convinced to do proper
 releases this is OK.  It also serves for others as documentation how we
 obtained the tarball.

OK, I'll leave it as is until Vince gets back to me about tagging a released
version.

 To the package itself:  I did a couple of minor changes and commited
 these.  It would have been more work to describe what you should do than
 doing it quickly myself.  Please check the log thoroughly.  There is one
 remaining issue:  You are creating the manpage at build time but the
 result is quite poor regarding line spacing etc.  It also adds a ruby
 build-dependency.  Could you please preprocess the manpage and commit it
 right to the debian/ dir after checking that the syntax is OK?

OK, I have made a new and improved d/scythe.1 and removed the ronn-based system
(including from build-depends, and d/rules). Is it worth doing something
similar with the README.html which we now generate, to avoid a build-dep on
python-markdown?

Cheers,
Kevin
