Which version of Samtools for Jessie ?
Dear all,
as Samtools users know, a major update happened this summer. The old version
(0.1.19) is still present in Jessie, while Sid has version 1.1.
Version 1.1 should be backwards-compatible, but there are probably corner cases
lurking around, such as other tools expecting a version number starting with 0,
etc.
In addition, version 1.1 does not build on some architectures where 0.1.19
built in the past.
Given that the Freeze is near, I therefore wonder what version would be the
best for the release: 0.1.19 or 1.1. In one possible scenarios, we would
distribute 1.x later in jessie-backports.
What do you think ?
