Dear all, I just realised that clustalw is not in testing. It will be difficult to satisfy our users in those conditions. Just look at the following graph:
http://people.debian.org/~igloo/popcon-graphs/index.php?packages=kalign+dialign+probcons+clustalx+clustalw+muscle+t-coffee+poa+amap-align+sigma-align&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&beenhere=1 ClustalW and ClustalX are still the most popular softwares for multiple alignment. Interestingly, there is a concommitant drop in the number of users of these two programs, and increase of users of the new alignment software I packaged. But I fear that if clustalw is not available, there will be a big drop of users instead of a migration to free packages. http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=clustalw Apparently, what clustalw needs is to be built on more arches. It was NMUed, but only on i386. Do you think it would be fair to ask the author of the NMU to finish the work on other arches, or is there a DD on this list who could try to rescue the situation ? We are running against time. Give the discussions on -devel, I am not sure that clustalw would be accepted in testing after the freeze. PS: this would be a good opportunity to integrate my patch for freedesktop support. http://bugs.debian.org/380715 PS2: Also, I think that Steffen wouldn't mind if the Maintainer was changed to the mail list of the debian-med packaging team. Steffen, can you confirm that the following would be OK ?
