Re: Description for lefse tools (Was: Origin of data files in MetaPhLan2)



Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your explanation. We have officially updated metaphlan2 to version 2.6.0 as shown in tags.
So, when it is convenient for you, please help to add the package of this new version.

Many thanks,
Tin

Sounds like a neat tool anyway - so if there is a description I could
provide a package.

So *if* you want to let users use the latest state of the repository why
don't you do a new versioned release to make it official.  Debian uses a
system to check web pages for versioned releases.  We can not sneak into
each repository nor wild guessing if it is a stable commit or not.  Is
there any reason not to release say version 2.6 or 2.5.1 or whatever?

Kind regards
