Status of samtools

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

currently we have samtools/0.1.19-1 with bug #753485 tagged patch but
are missing a confirmation from upstream for this patch.  We also
have a new upstream version of samtools (1.0) in experimental (that
might or might have not applied this patch).

Can anybody give some status update what the plan for samtools
regarding the Jessie release might be?

Alexander, in [1] you wrote: "I am currently adapting changes to the
latest version of samtools. When I'm done I will contact upstream."
Did you succeeded to contact upstream or should we ping again?

Thanks a lot to Alexander for his effort to provide a patch

       Andreas.
