Regarding packaging it would help a lot if somebody could convince upstream
to tag a release.  I have not found any tags at

    https://bitbucket.org/bbcu/utap/downloads/?tab=tags

Would you mind contacting upstream about this?

Moreover, I wonder what to do with these large data, that are mentioned here

    https://utap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rst/installation.html#create-a-directory-for-utap-software-and-its-output

Kind regards

      Andreas.
