Dear Eugene, thank you for your kind reply and your explanation!
Since the CCP4 download site offers Coot either as a stand-alone-package or via the new package manager, I was hoping that new Coot releases could also be handled by the wonderful CCP4 software update.
A software update mechanism for Coot, be it part of CCP4 or part of Coot, would help the software administrator :-).
A related question just crossed my mind: when will Coot and CCP4mg become part of the CCP4 core packages?
Best regards, Dirk. P.S.: I've sent Paul Emsley a CC of this little conversation. Am 01.10.12 13:13, schrieb eugene.krissi...@stfc.ac.uk:
Thanks for nice question.
Currently, CCP4 update is applicable only to what is distributed as "CCP4 core", which
guarantees a definite location in $CCP4 directory. Also, updates are not supposed to deliver
releases ("upgrades"), but rather smallish changes between them.
Coot is not part of CCP4 core, and in fact, is distributed in many different
ways, therefore, CCP4 update mechanism cannot be applied to Coot
straightforwardly, and it is unlikely to be applicable to Coot upgrades (e.g.,
0.7 to 08).
However, the updater may be made a part of Coot package, which is something
completely doable in principle, in which case it can deliver fixes for current
release.

Dear CCP4 developers,
this question might be interesting for many CCP4/Coot users:
will the Coot release 0.7 and future releases be made available to CCP4 users
via the CCP4 software update?
Best regards,
Dirk.
