Dear Andreas,
Thanks for your note. I have seen Debian Med out of the corner of my eye
for
many months now and have been meaning to join one of these years. I almost
joined up with you guys because of another proto-package available from my
private
website packaging the nexus library [1]. This libnexus is not ready for
prime
time yet I guess but would appreciate feedback, help, comments, etc.
I have also rewritten entirely my "complearn" package, now splitting it
up into several smaller packages and going for a "panlingual" language
binding approach using DBUS. The net result is several new packages:
libcomplearn now just does NCD
libqsearch contains maketree and associated quartet tree lib
complearn-dbus contains a DBUS-based server to provide generic OO binding
capability
soon there will be very small ruby packages to finish the job of connecting
to
perl, python, ruby, java, etc easily and more importantly with a consistent
interface across all languages.
There is also another new deb package called
complearn-mod-crypt that includes SHA1, SHA2, and MD5 hash function
compression modules.
I am wondering if there is anybody from the Debian Med team that would be
willing to help review my packages before I upload them to mentors and
Well, to find out this you are best advised to keep the mailing list
debian-med@lists.debian.org CCed in mails like this. IMHO, there is
no real need to look onto your work *before* you upload to mentors -
mentors is just the right place if you want somebody to look onto
your code. So uploading and than posting the location to the mailing
list seems to be the best strategy.
try to get somebody to sponsor them?
I think we have about three or four potential sponsors reading the
list so your chances are good to find a sponsor.
I will have to do libcomplearn first
since the API has been substantially enhanced and will have a few Conflicts:
entries against old versions of complearn-gui and complearn-mpi I suppose.
I will go ahead and join the debian med list now and hope I can make good
progress getting these new packages rolling with the help of your team.
You are welcome
Andreas.
Best
regards,
Rudi

Charles, thanks for spotting this.
Rudi, are you aware of the Debian-Med effort. If you need a sponsor
just ask here. Perhaps you like to join the Debian-Med mailing list
to stay in contact with other Debian users and developers that work
in the same field you are obviousely interested in.
Kind regards
Andreas.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for lunch.
