We do often find tarballs containing convenience copies of certain
libraries.  In most cases it is possible to use a configuration option
to use this copy or a system library.  Debian currently has version
4.0+r233 (package libtbb-dev).  If this is the same / a compatible
version as you intend to include there should be no problems to expect.

In the specific case of flexbar I'm lacking enough knowledge for cmake
build system.  I would consider the following options (prefered in this
ranking):

  1. Let cmake check whether libtbb is installed on the system and use
 this if yes
  2. Provide a switch that enables forcing the usage of libtbb installed
 on the system
  3. Patch CMakeLists.txt to ignore the convenience copy and take the
 system libtbb

Options 1. and 2. enable us the packaging without applying extra patches
which would simplify things on our side but might possibly put some
extra work on your shoulders (which you would not have otherwise when
ignoring our packaging attempt.)  As I said I have no cmake experience
and can not tell how much work this might be but in any case I could ask
on some other list (debian-mentors) for the changes that might be
needed.  So if you would be willing to distribute flexbar source
implementing 1. or 2. I could try to work out a patch that does exactly
this.  If you think 3. should be the way to go this is a fallback
option for us.

Hi Andreas,

ok, the plan sounds reasonable. Besides these issues, I consider to
include the tbb lib in the source tarball to make it easy for those who
download it for compilation. As far as I understood the tbb could be
dropped by the patch for packaging based on tarball, right? Or would
this complicate the packaging process or be against conventions?

Thank you a lot for the help!

Best, Johannes

Thanks for the clarifications.  I'd take this for some veto to not use
the Debian packaged seqan library.  The question is whether the
modifications you made might be incorporated into upstream seqan.  If
this would be feasible we could package a seqan version that would fit
flexbar (and most probably other applications.)  Do you think this is

Hi Andreas,

Tony asked me to join discussion on Flexbar packaging. I'm not sure if the 
stable SeqAn 1.3.1 package release misses functionality that I rely on, or if 
the behaviour of functions changed even if it compiles with this release. For 
example the new ArgumentParser has been added rather recently and I would not 
be surprised if its functionality changed in the time between the SeqAn package 
release and the revision that I incorporated.

However, I think the question is not only if it compiles somehow using this 
package. It should be exacly the same behaviour for one version of Flexbar. 
This isn't clear if the seqan sources differ in version, not to talk about 
slight modifications I made.

Thank you for the interest to include Flexbar!

OK, lets see how things evolve regarding the seqan library.  BTW, I will
consider changing the packaging of seqan anyway because it does not fit
the usual packaging scheme of libraries (but that's post Wheezy release
work.)

Hi, Andreas.

I was in contact with Johannes Röhr, one of the the upstream authors, 
before suggesting that we package "Flexbar" for Debian-Med. My initial 
contact with you about "Flexbar" was off-list and, as you suggested, I 
moved our conversation about it onto the Debian-Med list.


I volunteered to do the packaging because Johannes is too busy. It seems 
strange to me that you expect an upstream author to take part in online 
discussions when they are not the package maintainer, but I'll ask 
Johannes if he will join in the discussion about "Flexbar" here.



For the tarball itself I have two remarks:

   1. It would be a good idea to include a file COPYING containing the
  license statement.

   2. A really large part of the source tarball is a convenience copy of
  the seqan library which is also packages in seqan-dev package.
  Usually we try strongly to build packages against Debian packaged
  libraries and thus I would be very happy if we could drop the
  seqan code (by at the same time tweaking src/CMakeLists.txt to
  regard the Debian packaged seqan.)  Unfortunately the included
  copy has some indifferent state - it is way younger than the latest
  official seqan release (1.3.1) which is packaged.  So the question
  remains whether flexbar will really build with Debian's seqan
  package.  It is the duty of the Debian maintainer of flexbar to
  find this out (either by testing himself or by asking upstream.)


I've discussed this with Johannes already off-list, and I was able to 
compile his source release unmodified on Bio-Linux 7/Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.



apt-cache policy seqan-dev
seqan-dev:
  Installed: 1.3.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.3.1-0ubuntu1

 1.3-1ubuntu2 0

If Johannes is willing to join in the discussion, I will let him 
continue. Otherwise, I'll post a summary of my off-list discussions with 
him about "Flexbar" dependencies.

better choice.

Hi, Andreas.

Can we not just export a snapshot of their SVN version?

For example:

#
# Checkout current SVN version and export a clean source snapshot
#
VERSION=$(svn info svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/flexbar/code | awk '/Revision/{print

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/flexbar/code/trunk flexbar-code
svn export svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/flexbar/code/trunk flexbar_src_v2.$VERSION
tar jcf flexbar_src_v2.$VERSION.tgz flexbar_src_v2.$VERSION


This is how I got the sources I'm using on our Bio-Linux server in
Edinburgh.


This would be a precondition for our packaging work and we should
make sure that we will be able to start smoothly without spending
time into things like this.


Well, since it's me who wants to package their software for Debian-Med

Diane has given a perfect answer and I can only agree with her: Sure we
can - but not all we can is reasonable and I see no reason to ask for
trouble just in the beginning.

Kind regards

Andreas.

debian in general likes there to be official releases. A lot of the packaging 
tools are designed around tracking specific versioned tarballs. to make 
releases repeatable there needs to at least be tagged versions. Though tarballs 
would be better.

Hi, Andreas.

Can we not just export a snapshot of their SVN version?

For example:

This is how I got the sources I'm using on our Bio-Linux server in
Edinburgh.

Well, since it's me who wants to package their software for Debian-Med
and Bio-Linux I think I should make the effort to smooth things along!

Indeed, I'm looking forward to the meeting!

Bye,

Hi, Andreas.

Can we not just export a snapshot of their SVN version?

For example:


#!/bin/bash
# @(#)SVN  2013-01-18  A.J.Travis

#
# Checkout current SVN version and export a clean source snapshot
#
VERSION=$(svn info svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/flexbar/code | awk '/Revision/{print 
$2}')

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/flexbar/code/trunk flexbar-code
svn export svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/flexbar/code/trunk flexbar_src_v2.$VERSION
tar jcf flexbar_src_v2.$VERSION.tgz flexbar_src_v2.$VERSION


This is how I got the sources I'm using on our Bio-Linux server in 
Edinburgh.



This would be a precondition for our packaging work and we should
make sure that we will be able to start smoothly without spending
time into things like this.

I gave flexbar a very quick look and noticed, that there is no source
tarball at ist download page

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/flexbar/files/2.31/

Could you please contact the authors / those who asked you for the
packaging to care for a versioned source code tarball besides their
binary download files.  (And yes, we could checkout from SVN but
it is better to avoid this to safe us from extra hassle.)

This would be a precondition for our packaging work and we should
make sure that we will be able to start smoothly without spending
time into things like this.

See you in Kiel

   Andreas.
