Pardon me, I forgot to 'reply-all'. Yeah, I'm new to Git as well. I've made the git.debian.org/git/debian-med/bamtools.git repository, renamed my branches, added a pristine-tar based off of the 2.2 release and pushed up the whole lot. >> > I intended to answer in response to your ITP bug that a long description >> > is missing and it is also basically missing in your debian/control file. >> > Please try to find a more verbose description for the binary packages. >> >> Okay, I've added the overview of commands: >> >> Available bamtools commands: >> convert Converts between BAM and a number of other formats >> count Prints number of alignments in BAM file(s) >> coverage Prints coverage statistics from the input BAM file >> filter Filters BAM file(s) by user-specified criteria >> header Prints BAM header information >> index Generates index for BAM file >> merge Merge multiple BAM files into single file >> random Select random alignments from existing BAM file(s), intended more >> as >> a testing tool. >> resolve Resolves paired-end reads (marking the IsProperPair flag as needed) >> revert Removes duplicate marks and restores original base qualities >> sort Sorts the BAM file according to some criteria >> split Splits a BAM file on user-specified property, creating a new BAM >> output file for each value found >> stats Prints some basic statistics from input BAM file(s) > > Thanks, this is helpful.

The versioned symlink for the binary is from upstream.

Testing... Indeed you are correct. I have removed them. -- Michael R. Crusoe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-med-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
