Debian Medical Team,

I would second that. If possible, ask upstream for sensible data size that
is manageable under a few MBs.
I understand the motivation here -- it is unwieldy and unusual to have GB-
sized test data. Irrespective of what I write below, it is always nice to
have a "small" smoke-test data set so I support asking upstream in that
spirit.
It may be the case that upstream is able to get the same code coverage out of
a smaller test data set. Or maybe they can get a reduced-but-still-useful
coverage.
But in the days of "big data", it might be the case that testing the software
really requires a big dataset. What are Debian's options for this?
Hi, Steve.
I'm the author of PIQUE - In fact the dataset that I use to test PIQUE
is small in comparison to the datasets that we normally use for GWAS and
I included a Makefile to download it, rather than including it in the repo.
Bye,
Tony.
