I've added a comment.

BTW, I could need similar help for contacting authors about freeing
their code:

   https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2016/09/msg00068.html
   https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2016/07/msg00083.html

Any reader of our list might step in here and write to the authors
showing that I'm not the only one who is interested.

Kind regards

  Andreas.

See https://github.com/thegenemyers/DALIGNER/issues/35
I did not get any response to this ticket until I tried pinging the
author via email. It was still not a positive response.

I don't think I've ever managed to convince anybody of making release
tags, so I've somewhat given up.

I remember there was this test that took a while, but I'd go do
something else while I ran it.

It is in good shape. I just pointed out that this is another one that
upstream will tell you is deprecated.

Yes, I know.  BTW, I have usccessfully requested release tags for
pbbarcode.  So I personally will open an issue for any Github project
I'm stumbling upon since it has no tags.  I have heard about that these
developers are a bit stubborn about tags but I'll try my own luch

Yes, upstream of pbbarcode confirmed its deprecated but its now tagged
and thus does not create any noise any more in our QA tools.  BTW, I
restricted the test suite to some tests since the second part took
*incredibly* long (so long that I even stopped the process on my
laptop).  I'm not sure whether this is "*intended operation* or whether
this is a sign of a failure.

But no, I was not refering to any specific package in my paragraph above.

> pbh5tools is in a similar situation.

I left it untouched since it did not raised any signal in the QA tools.

Kind regards

This new version, if I remember correctly, has made the example program into
a production program, but that now has an additional dependency which is not
packaged. I think this is the only difference from the current release. To
feasibly handle this, I think we would need to make a multi-orig tarball
with this new dependency (since it is from the same upstream and I believe
no other program uses it anyway) and put this program into a new binary
package.


OK, seems like something we want to do later (I'd prefer a separate

I agree. Multi-orig tarballs are a pain in the neck to maintain, at 
least with gbp.



It would be
also nice to know which of the packages you are Uploader will be
uploaded in the next couple of days and where you would like to get
help.

pbbam needs a patch to be reworked. This was a patch that I forwarded
upstream, but was ignored, and the files were modified differently.


SO I'll leave it for you.

the next upload.


Seems you know better than me whet to do here as well.


daligner/dazzdb/dascrubber probably have new upstream snapshots that need to

OK, these do not create any singnal on my dashboard so I'll leave this

That is because upstream doesn't make releases. I've just updated them now.


I only really have time to work on these on weekends and I worked on some
non-DebianMed packages last weekend.


Sure.  That's for most of us the normal situation.  I did not intended

just wanted to prevent that I might have used some spare cycles to

In case you are referring to pbbarcode, that upstream has deprecated 
some software while people are still relying on it, so I don't consider 
this a waste. pbh5tools is in a similar situation.



I will try to work on the onces I
consider worth uploading this weekend. I was considering working on sprai a

That's fine.  Just ping here if you need assistance.
