Hi,
I'd like to update the packaging for Ugene[1]. (BTW Ivan, you are
listed as Uploader for this package but you probably do not have access
to the new development platform salsa.debian.org - if you intend to
commit something please register there and apply for the Debian Med team
or send me an e-mail with your user name.)
Ugene comes with several third party software which we did not yet
replaced by the Debian packaged equivalents as the Debian policy
requests. However in previous version we at least replaced sqlite3
and zlib by the Debian packaged versions. In the latest upstream
version which I commited to Git[1] there are lots of occurences of
these libraries which are renamed from the standard name sqlite
to ugenedb and z to zlib, resp. Before I now start mass-patching
the according makefiles I'd like to know the motivation to
a) ship these very basic well established libs at all
b) renaming the local copies to something else.
I do not want to do useless work just to find out the result will
not work as expected.
Kind regards
Andreas.
