Hi Tony and everyone else I added: That depends on what DebiChem, Debian Med, and the Debian Java Team collectively want. jmol has three reverse dependencies. The new upload, jmol 14, breaks all of them. - biojava3-live can feasibly be dropped from Debian. - biojava4-live is currently being worked on by the upstream developer. We're waiting to hear back from them. - jalview's current version doesn't work with jmol 14, but the new version does. I started packaging it, but it adds several other dependencies not in Debian. Most of them seem bio related: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/jalview.git/tree/debian/TODO fr.orsay.lri.varna.* htsjdk.samtools.* org.biodas.jdas.* org.jfree.graphics2d.svg.* So we have a few options: 1. Keep everything old in Debian, and SageMath out of Debian stable. 2. Update Jmol in Debian, with a chance of SageMath entering Debian stable, but drop biojava4 and jalview from Debian stable. (They can remain broken in unstable, with a chance of fixing them later, ofc) 3. Update Jmol in Debian, and update biojava4 and jalview as well. If I work on (3) I don't think I will have any time to properly work on (2), but that is where my main personal interest lies. I'm also wondering what you all prefer, too.
