Now how to implement this? It seems that if we recommand the users to
copy the alternative seaview_align.sh in /usr/bin, the md5 sums will
differ in case of integrity check. Should the /etc/alternatives system
be used for that case?
While the alternatives system is a clean solution and would probably
work fine it sounds a little bit like overkill for me. I personally
would prefer the following: Patch the script to check, whether
t-coffee is installed and prefer the t-coffee script in case it
exists. Enable enforcing clustalw using a command line option.
In the case a licence is needed for the alternative seaview_align.sh
script, I volunteer to contact the author...
Uhmm, this scrip is that simple that it might be easily rewritten - but
it does no harm to contact the author to make him aware that some people
prefer free licenses.
Kind regards
Andreas.
