Hi, the last (unreleased) changelog entry of maq says: maq (0.7.1-4) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * Developmemt of Maq stopped in 2008. Its successors are BWA and SAMtools. -- Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org> Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:10:28 +0900 So would it be possible / make sense to provide a wrapper /usr/bin/maq around bwa and drop the maq package at all to make users aware of this a bit more prominently? Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
