Re: mips/mipsel in samtools and pysam
Hi Afif,
regarding bug #749367 of htslib I inspected the upstream discussion
about the proposed patch[4]. I need to admit that I can not make any
safe conclusion whether the mips issue is solved or not. The fact that
the build problem remains (OK, according to #749367 there were 5
failures in the beginning the build log [3] now has only 4 failures)
seems to me that upstream does not found a final solution. However,
this is not release critical since htslib was never available for mips.
However, as far as I can see there in tracker[5] are more important
problems in samtools affecting several architectures. According to
Charles[6] this might be fixed upstream in the next release. I'm not
sure how promissing the suggested action (=waiting for upstream) might
be. Does anybody have contact to upstream and would find out whether a
new release can be expected soon or whether we should try to backport
the changes (and would volunteer to do the backporting ;-)).
Kind regards
Andreas.
