No. The network admin didn't like the idea of all the mail
messages. I think I might just ignore him though. :-)
There is probably no point for Debian to compete in the package
versions with
upstream developers of BioPerl, Wise, EMBOSS and whatever other
tools yours
and your neighbouring institutes' are providing :o)
What I'd actually like is some sort of non-root packaging system so
that users could build software with decent dependency checking for
their shared software infrastructure. Can dpkg be cajoled into
doing that?
A main difference of Debian to other Linux distributions is
probably the
merger of "us" and "you/them", "ours" and "yours/theirs". I am very
confident
that you will find sponsors external to the Sanger Center of even
within who
would help in getting your changes into the main distribution. It
should be
only a few days between submission and its appearance in unstable.
Please
contact Debian-Med whenever you feel that some action from the side
of the
Debian commuity could possibly be beneficial for your cause. And
somehow I
hope that you already feel a part of the community.
Thanks. :-)
