As you might have noticed I tried to investigate a bit [1] about the
role of the Enhances field because thinking twice about it the suggested
Enhanced-By field sounds somewhat redundant. IMHO we could do better if
we consistently maintain the Enhances field where needed and there is no
real need to put this information into a different place. So I tried to
find out what Enhancement relations we currently have in the Debian Med
tasks. Here is a raw logfile output after grep-ing 'enhanc':
The following packages are enhancing loki: ['loki-doc']
The following packages are enhancing blast2: ['mcl']
The following packages are enhancing seaview: ['muscle']
The following packages are enhancing t-coffee: ['dialign-tx', 'clustalw', 'mafft', 'kalign', 'poa']
The following packages are enhancing emboss: ['clustalw', 'primer3']
The following packages are enhancing clustalw: ['clustalw-mpi']
The following packages are enhancing gamgi: ['gamgi-doc', 'gamgi-data']
The following packages are enhancing rasmol: ['rasmol-doc']
The following packages are enhancing ncbi-tools-bin: ['mcl']
Unknown key 'Enhanced-By': autogrid in task bio
Unknown key 'Enhanced-By': mgltools-dejavu, mgltools-pmv, mgltools-utpackages, mgltools-vision, mgltools-volume, mgltools-bhtree, mgltools-geomutils, mgltools-opengltk, mgltools-pyglf, mgltools-sff, pdb2pqr in task bio
The following packages are enhancing mustang: ['mustang-testdata']
The following packages are enhancing bioperl: ['exonerate', 'mcl']
The following packages are enhancing bioperl-run: ['clustalw']
The following packages are enhancing mcl: ['zoem']
The following packages are enhancing r-base: ['texmacs']
The following packages are enhancing gnumed-client: ['gnumed-doc']
IMHO it might make perfectly sense to add
Enhances: autodock
in debian/control of autogrid as well as
Enhances: autodocktools
to the control information of all the mgltools-* packages.
IMHO this is more consistent and makes sense in general and not only
in the Blends scope while serving the same purpose.
What do you think?
Kind regards
Andreas.
