So, I think, for the moment I would already be very happy if a second individual would follow my steps. And then, I see
a) get packages (back) into the distribution with an RC bug as long as tests don't work b) investigate (likely together with upstream) and fix the failing tests c) come up with tutorials to run the biological workflow(s) with Debian For python-seqcluster I have forked my own v3 variant at https://github.com/smoe/seqcluster and sent pull requests. From that source tree I symbolically link to the debian directory of the salsa checkout. This seems to work rather nicely with "fakeroot ./debian/rules binary" to get working packages quickly and communicate with upstream. I think I will adopt that concept for other packages, too. So, at the moment we are still at some pre-a) stage. As long as we target unstable, the one or other failing test is not a catastrophe. If I do not get to c) reasonably quickly then I will not have any justification to invest more time for b) . So, many thanks again for all you can do to help, Steffen
