Greetings Everyone, While studying the building of the software VirusSeeker[1], in its quite furnished dependency list[2], I noted that there is a component missing from Debian: PRINSEQ[3]. The tools comes in two flavors[4]: 1. the standalone version, also known as prinseq-lite.pl; 2. the web version, or prinseq-web. According to the dependency list, only the lite version is required for VirusSeeker. The command apt-file reported nothing about already existing prinseq related file in Debian, and I've seen any occurrence of it in the prospective package pool, so it looks like a nifty little package to grind my teeth on, as a starter. :) The two prinseq packages are provided into two different and independent tarballs, so that might be two different source packages perhaps. I don't know if the web version would be interesting as well, but I thought it would be interesting to mention it exists. Also, a small technico-legal question, I see occurrences of the following message: > If you use PRINSEQ, please cite: > Schmieder R and Edwards R: Quality control and preprocessing > of metagenomic datasets. Bioinformatics 2011, 27:863-864. > [PMID: 21278185] Has it any form of legal enforcement that could possibly impede integration to Debian ? (I'd rather ask before going a bit too far further...)
