Lets maintain libbpp-phyl-omics in Debian Med team
Hi Loic and Julien,
congratulations - you were the first who was flying below my radar about
bioinformatics software inside Debian. You managed to inject a set of
library packages (libbpp-core-dev, libbpp-phyl-dev,
libbpp-phyl-omics-dev, libbpp-popgen-dev, libbpp-qt-dev, libbpp-raa-dev,
libbpp-seq-dev, libbpp-seq-omics-dev) without beeing noticed by anybody
in the Debian Med team which is staffed by several people packaging
software in bioinformatics. How did you managed this and who is your
sponsor who uploaded these packages?
On the other hand it seems that you are not aware that the Debian Med
team exists - otherwise you would have contacted us most probably.
Since I'd consider this an unfortunate situation I'd suggest, that we
move all the packages under team maintenance in Debian Med Git. Since
the packages have open RC bugs it seems you might seek for help in this
anyway and I think we can provide it. So my first step would be to
start with libbpp-core-dev, create a Git repository for the packaging,
polish the outdated packaging to Debian Med team policy standards, add
you as Uploaders and try to fix the open bugs. Once I'm ready I would
ask you again for confirmation (in case you might not have answered yet).
If I do not hear from you I'll assume agreement with the above procedure
and go for a team upload.
BTW, I have added the development packages to the bio-dev task of Debian
Med[1] where you could find them soon.
Kind regards and thanks for your work on libbpp-* in any case
Andreas.
