I was first very confused as this not really medical... but it looks
like debian-med is more about bioinformatics
The rationale behind this fact is that bioinformatics plays an important
role in preclinical research. So we need this software in a good shape
if we want to support all tasks in the field of medicine. The fact that
this field seems to be dominant is a pure consequence of the availablity
of free software in this field. Currently there is no separate Debian Bio
project and we try to cover this here in Debian Med which has proven
to be successfully for years.
and seqan sure fits in
there. So leaving naming issues aside (which can be resolved at some
later point when things are getting too messy) what needs to be done to
turn this into a debian-med project? I started packaging in
http://bollin.googlecode.com/svn/seqan/trunk/debian/ but there are still
plenty issues.
I guess these questions were perfectly answered by Charles - feel free to
ask on the Debian-Med list (which I would suggest to subscribe if you are
working in this field) if some questions remain.
(note I am not a DD, so I depend on a sponsor)
You are welcome to ask on the list to ask for a sponsor.
BTW, I added the info about seqan to the bio-dev task wich means that it
will show up at
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio-dev.php
after the next cron job run (12:00).
Kind regards and welcome in the Debian Med team
Andreas.
