Re: Plink2 (Was: Bug#771154: plink: New major upstream version of plink)



Hi Andreas,
I'm not very happy with the rename of the binary to "plink2" for this version. I speak with upstream about this [1] and he suggest me to not rename plink 1.9 to "plink2" because the real plink 2 will break more things and will be distributed under the "plink2" name.

So the options are:
1. Stay with the rename to "plink2" for the version 1.9. But with possible breaks when the real plink2 will be released.

2. As suggest by upstream, stay with "p-link" for the version 1.9 with a Breaks or Conflicts field in d/control for the plink 1.07. Not possible to use both versions (1.07 and 1.9) at the same time, so not ideal to replicate results obtained from plink 1.07.

3. Create a specific package ("plink1.9") for plink 1.9 to permit to have the three versions in cohabitation during the transition. Which could permit to replicate results obtained with all versions.

4. Others solutions?
