Most of the packages done in the sprint and as a indirect consequence of the sprint are in



Hi,

I'm quite proud to say that we now managed to get most of those packages
we started working in the Debian Med sprint in Travemünde have now hit
unstable or experimental.  That's really cool!  Thanks to all who had
spend their time (specifically Steffen for organising the sprint).

One point I do not feel really good about is the creation of two new
tasks.  I discussed[1] this in the beginning but the discussion faded
out with no result.  Before I start building new Debian Med packages now
I would like to push a bit the decision process.  The rationale is that
I have th egut feeling that the additional tasks (which are actually
subtasks of bio) are not properly maintained.  The reason is that we
would need to create duplicate entries for some packages in bio and
bio-ngs / bio-phylogeny.  I admit I'm more or less focussing on bio and
not on those subtasks.  The reason for this is to 75% that I personally
do not feel qualified enough to decide about the content of a program
whether it fits in and 25% is simply lazyness: "Do it in bio now you
can always maintain those subtasks later (=never)."

BTW, the reasoning above is to some extend also true for the cloud task
- as far as I know not all non-GUI packages which are now in unstable
are mentioned in this task.

To reflect this problem I used the option which was previousely
introduced in the Blends framework which prevents building a metapackage
from a task file.  It will only be displayed in the web sentinel.  So
I tagged bio-bgs and bio-phylogeny

  Metapackage: false

If you do not agree with this decision please do the following:

  1. Double check whether both tasks are really containing all
     packages which should be in.
  2. Drop the "Metapackage: false" statement.

I would like to create new metapackages in about ten days.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
