I think it is OK to test only part of the tools.  May be you can inform
upstream by opening an issue that the hard coded memory could create
trouble in practical applications.

Thanks for the idea! I have checked and they are already appeared to have one issue opened [1]. Except it is stated to be about compressed input files, not about memory, I got the same error and the problem was definitely with running out of memory. I'll write a bit later to this issue, too.

Not really critical but please add some information about the test data
sets in README.source - preferably some "wget ..." or so.

I put info about test data files in d/copyright. Should I transfer it to README.source instead?

PS: Once you have added this do you know with which package you want to
continue or should I make some suggestions?

I thought about these packages: ncbi-entrez-direct, sra-sdk, rsem, soapdenovo, soapdenovo2, kmer, treeview, fastdnaml. Not sure about artemis. All are familiar to me to some extent. I'll be happy to have any suggestions or recommendations from you! :-)

With regards,
Liubov
