Re: Should we package BioConductor TFBSTools? [Was [libtfbs-perl] 04/08: Add upstream's notice of deprecation to the package's description.]

Hi Steffen,

I stumbled upon this old mail.  While nobody has answered so far I'd
like to give some update.

This now boils down to simply

     prepare_missing_cran_package TFBSTools

which gives you a set of Git repositories containing the Debian
packaging of the package and all its missing dependencies.  By using the
script itp_from_debian_dir it prepares a text for your ITP bug.  I'm
currently testing this script and used it as another example - so you
can expect the packaging in the new queue in a couple of days.  The
said scripts are in the latest dh-r package.

Attention: Due to bug #897026 I have pinned debhelper to version 11.1.6.
The script fails (unfortunately silently) with any later released
debhelper version.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
