Hi all, I had a look at the Vienna package, and here are a few thoughts about the work to be done.
- It uses a patched version of Readseq. Maybe we should consider to build Vienna on Debian's readseq, possibly by adopting its patches if they are not disruptive. By the way, we could incorporate the Debian package for readseq in our repository, if its current maintainer agrees. - The Vienna package provides libraries that other programs use. For instance, MiRanda, a sofware to discover targets of micro RNAs uses Vienna's RNAlib. - Emboss provides some wrappers so we shoud probably package them as well. - There are some build issues such as the Makefile in the Kinfold directory that has no distclean rule. Probably some autoconf mastery can solve the problem. - The vienna-rna source package should probably be split into multiple binary packages, for instance RNAforester which is a distinct work. - I do not have the impression that some commercial licences are sold, so maybe we have a chance of obtaining a relicencing ?
