Hi Tanya,

[I'm replying just to the list since I assume you and Canberk are reading it]

BTW, thanks for commenting on Canberks question to exonerate.

Well, we have a simple test now.  I would have considered this as OK for
an upload if you would have confirmed.  If you think it is better to add
one or two tests more that's fine.  If you really want to add more
that's even better but the current test even now fullfills the criterion
of proving that the package works as expected - so feel free to confirm
that the tests are OK to your opinion and I'll upload the package.

Well, I hope I did not spoiled your enthusiasm and just did

    cme fix dpkg-control

which solved half of the lintian messages and added

    export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all

in debian/rules which dealt with the rest.  So these are simple things I
do not waste your bioinformatics knowledge on (but for sure you can do
this as well next time since you now have an example how to do this
efficiently).

Perfectly fine. :-)

Looking at your test script you seem to have the needed bash skills. ;-)

OK.  I usually move packages from SVN to Git also for other reasons and
at request.  If you don't ask me explicitly I'll do nothing.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
