Hi Nicola, we just had some conversation about pyphlan. I now want to package MetaPhLan2 for Debian and I have prepared the needed packaging stuff. I did some small fixes
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/metaphlan2/trunk/debian/patches/fix_sequence.patch?view=markup and fixed some spelling issues https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/metaphlan2/trunk/debian/patches/spelling.patch?view=markup you might possibly want to take over in your upstream source. For the final upload to Debian I would need some information how the binary data files in db_v20 were created. Debian requires somehow editable source for each file. This is probably not possible for the files in question but we need to provide some information where the files are obtained from. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
