Re: Maybe sponsor package under debian-med umbrella?
Hi again, you are now member of the Debian Med team. I forgot to give a hint to the Debian Med policy https://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html which gives you some more hints about packaging in the team. Please be careful - we just moved from the old development platform to Salsa and there might be outdated information since there was no review yet. I'm a bit offline-ish these days - so please ask any question here on the list if you have some trouble. Welcome in the team Andreas.

Hi Benjamin, thanks for contacting the Debian Med team.

The Debian Med team has evolved to a strong group of people interested in bioinformatics. Upstream authors are more than welcome to maintain their packages inside the team. > Many of the programs that I use (such as figtree) are available in > Debian now, but a few (e.g. tracer: > http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/tracer/, So we should probably package tracer. > canu: > https://github.com/marbl/canu) are not. Canu is packaged but not yet available in any release yet. We might consider a backport to stretch if this is helpful for you. You can get a full overview about all available packages in the so called "task biology" (we have other tasks like biology-dev for development, medical imaging and others).

The best idea would be you register on the new development platform https://salsa.debian.org and ask for beeing added to the Debian Med team. Once your application is accepted please create a Git repository for bali-phy there and somebody of our team will take over the sponsoring. Kind regards Andreas.

Maybe sponsor package under debian-med umbrella?
Hi, I see that many bioinformatics programs such as muscle, mafft, and fsa (alignment) and mrbayes, beast-mcmc, and phyml (phylogenetics), etc. are maintained by the "Debian Med Packaging Team". I uploaded a package for bali-phy (which does simultaneous alignment) to mentors.debian.net. (Disclaimer: I am the author). I was originally planning to try to maintain this on my own, but (supposing people are interesting in this package) would the Debian Med team be a better structure? Many of the programs that I use (such as figtree) are available in Debian now, but a few (e.g. tracer: http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/tracer/, canu: https://github.com/marbl/canu) are not. I would probably be interested in packaging tracer. Like figtree, it is a java program, and it is by the same authors, so I presume I could use the figtree package as a template. Thoughts? -BenRI
