I am unfortunately super-busy, but as you have always been so helpful with tclap, how could I say no? :-) That said, cytoscape looks like a rather neat science / med project we should try to get into Debian. I am cc'ing Andreas who is the goto-guy for 'Debian Med'. Andreas, could you help as well?
Many thanks for the hint to this interesting project which is definitely
interesting for Debian-Med. My suggestion would be that you (Mike) or your
collaborator who actually has the problem just posts a status mail which
mentions the problems on the Debian-Med mailing list. We will try to help
out as best as we can. Perhaps we will need some help from debian-java
because I'm afraid the experience in Java packaging is not (yet) wide
spread in the Debian-Med group. If there is a general interest in Free
Software in bioinformatics you might consider subscribing to the relatively
low volume list.
Kind regards and thanks to Dirk for the hint
Andreas.
PS: I just added cytoscape to tasks/bio prospective packages. It will hit
SVN this evening.
