lofreq in Debian
Hi, Andreas,
I'm contacting you on behalf of the Debian Med team, a group within the
Debian project that aims to make Debian an ideal computing platform for
biology and medicine.
I took interest in packaging your software LoFreq, but was a bit
confused by the requirement for the samtools static library and internal
header files. It's my understanding that the samtools developers tried
to make all externally useful components available through htslib. Is
this something required for functionality of the software, or is it
needed only to provide the samtools functions faidx, index, and idxstats
as convenience clones within lofreq?
If the latter, we will probably patch those functions out for the Debian
package and have the lofreq package recommend the samtools package.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Many thanks for your work on lofreq and providing it under an agreeable
license.
regards
Afif
