RE: removing tophat from Debian



Second that motion.

 

There are *plenty* of bioinformaticians and sysadmins, especially downstream of Debian who will say “I need tophat”, without being able to explain why they do.

 

Migration path, big announcement, large time path so everybody gets comfortable with it, some sort of way of making sure that google indexes the announcement as the first result when someone searches for it.

 

Source: sysadmin in bioinformatics, also masters students in bioinformatics, I was just instructed last Tuesday on how to use tophat in Ubuntu.

Since I'm not a user of all this software I do not have any objections.

However, I wonder whether we should provide kind of a sensible

"migration path" and add "Replaces: tophat" to hisat2 or something like

this.

 

Kind regards
