It would help if you check the list of plugins you need (or any other
software you might need) and tell us here. If users are (silently)
using other systems (like the suggested BioConda) we do not get any
response what to do to make Debian Med better. I have no problems
with other systems - as long as users simply tell us what is missing
here or what bugs are affecting their work.
Hi, Andreas.
QIIME is particularly sensitive to the versions of supporting software
that it uses and I gave up trying to validate the APT-managed version
that Tim Booth created for Bio-Linux. The reason I run QIIME under
Bioconda is that I can install precisely the validated version of all
the supporting software without any conflicts with the underlying
system-managed packages. Validation of QIIME is particularly important
when comparing results obtained by other people on different platforms.
Bye,
Tony.
