Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Dear all,
Recent versions of Bioperl, a suite of perl modules for bioinformatics, depend on the modules provided by AcePerl. The Debian-Med packaging team would be very happy to find a volunteer to prepare a Debian package for it. We can provide support and sponsorship (but please check first with the pkg-perl team if they would be interested to host the package as well). There might be copyright issues depending on the level of pickyness: files under acelib/ have no clear copyright statement, but have been released under GPL and LGPL in the ACEDB packages distributed by the Sanger Center (see below). I do not know if these files are essential. Package name : libace-perl Version : 1.91 Upstream Author : Lincoln Stein [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL : http://stein.cshl.org/AcePerl/ License : Same as Perl., and GPL/LGPL mix. Programming Lang: Perl, C Description : interface for the AceDB database Here are stubs for the control and copyright files: Priority: optional Section: science Homepage: interface for the AceDB database Enhances: bioperl Description: interface for the AceDB database AcePerl is an object-oriented Perl interface for the AceDB database. It provides functionality for connecting to remote AceDB databases, performing queries, fetching ACE objects, and updating databases. The programmer's API is compatible with the JADE Java API, and interoperable with the API used by BoulderIO. . AceDB is a genome database system developed since 1989 primarily by Jean Thierry-Mieg (CNRS, Montpellier) and Richard Durbin (Sanger Institute). It was originally developed for the C.elegans genome project , from which its name was derived (A C. elegans DataBase).
