Lets talk about debian/upstream/edam (Was: r18733 - in trunk/packages/bowtie/tags: . 1.1.1-2/debian 1.1.1-2/debian/upstream)
Hi,
the recent adding of debian/upstream/edam files without any announcement
seems to create some confusion:

Charles had removed the file which was recently added at the sprint - I
guess because he was not aware about its nature. I think before those
files will be added we should talk about it and send a short
introduction to the list.
Hervé, Steffen, would you be so kind to do this?
BTW, when realising that you are not using UDD[1] (at least I guess so
from the fact that there is no hit in
$ grep -Ri udd trunk/community/edam
) and when also noticing that you fetched some metadata in
trunk/community/edam/test/test_muscle/debian
which is completely available in UDD you most probably are suffering
from an unfortunate design for the problem you want to solve. I admit
I'm coming up a bit late with this since the Sprint is over but I have
realised this right now. We should have definitely talked about the
usage of UDD which contains *all* machine readable metadate about our
packages in a very easily accessible form.
Kind regards
Andreas.
