Andreas/Michael may remember differently, but from memory we will have:
- SeqAn 1.x in src:seqan -> seqan-dev (only, no apps)
- SeqAn 2.x in src:seqan2 -> libseqan2-dev and seqan-apps (and one day -doc)
So yes, I agree with you. Seqan 1.x (i.e. src:seqan) should be made to build
correctly and not get booted from testing (and git should be reverted such that
it contains only 1.x). Especially while the likes of bowtie & tophat rely upon
them. (Though for smaller tools, providing patches to get them to build with
seqan 2.x shouldn't be monumentally difficult and should be qulte
upstream-able).
Cheers,
