Dear Aaron, I have cloned the repository and tried to build the package from there with the git-buildpackage tool. Unfortunately, git does not track empty directories, and therefore git-buildpackage fails because of the absence of ./build. While there are workarounds to force git to track a directory, for instance by adding a .gitignore file in, I think that the best solution would rather to create the missing directories at build time when necessary, with commands like ‘[ -d build ] || mkdir build’. As a much more minor comment, I am not sure if the debian-lenny branch is necessary, since the package in Lenny went there through a regular upload to unstable. Perhaps what you need is rather a debian-experimental branch. Talking about experimental upload, I also agree that it would be better to release with a recent version of the NCBI toolkit. By the way, have you seen the Launchpad bug #586219 ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncbi-tools6/+bug/586219 It affects the package that is to be released with Squeeze. I have not found time today to try to reproduce it, however… -- Charles Plessy Debian Med packaging team, http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-med-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
