So you could help me there ;-)...
The game is to (temporarily) remove the dependency on jmol; in the
meantime, I'll try to work on the remaining dependencies (there are only
two left now - from an initial 20 or so !).
I have prepared a version of the package you can download and build:
dget -x http://people.debian.org/~fourmond/jalview_2.4.dfsg-1.dsc
(you'll need to install quite a few build-deps, but dpkg-buildpackage
will warn you anyway about that). What you can do is to remove jmol from
the lib/ directory, the debian/rules file, to try to build and hack the
source code until you get it to build and work ;-)... Then we'll have a
patch to integrate, and we'll convince upstream that a mutilated version
of jalview is still much better than no jalview at all ;-) !
Cheers and good luck !
Vincent
