That would be great.

To get this issue a kick start I injected the current status of BioRuby
to Debian Med SVN.  In case anybody else of the Ruby team might step in
and has commit rights if he is a Debian developer.  Non Debian
developers can be easily added to the project.  John,  I have not found
you at alioth - I would welcome if you could register and I will add you
to the Debian Med project.  You might like to read the Debian Med
policy[1].

I will update the packaging to the latest BioRuby version and apply our
packaging policy regarding group maintenance.  Once this is done I would
be glad if you take over checking the Ruby specifics to make sure I have
not broken anything.

What do you think?

Kind regards

 Andreas.

GNUmed / Debian-med Live CD

2009-10-04 Thread Sebastian Hilbert
Hi all,

Andreas has bugged me several times to get the Live CD stuff into SVN. I would 
like to discuss a few issues fist.

The stuff I currently have produces a Live CD for GNUmed based on Debian Live.
I could check that in but it is of limited use for Debian Med as a whole.

In my view what needs to be done is to define package lists that can be fed to 
Debian Live's lh_config.

These might overlap Debian Med's metapackages

http://live.debian.net/manual/html/packages.html#package-installation

For GNUmed one would simply use 'lh_config --packages "gnumed-client gnumed 
server"'

1) A good start for a Live CD is the Debian Live Task 'xfce'. It could be 
coupled with a package list that holds metapackages.

Another option would be to define a set of tasks like 'xfce-emr' or 'xfce-
biology' or whatnot. 

What do you think ?

2) The menus for GRUB and syslinux get autogenerated. For GNUmed I have 
cutomized the syslinux menu to allow for localized startup (the locales are 
created depending on your kernel parameters ). Those need to be preseeded in 
'foo/bar/config/templates/syslinux/common/menu.cfg'

3) not all packages are in Debian Stable /Lenny. So a custom sources.list and 
apt preferences file needs to be supplied to pick up various software packages 
from testing.

In short three things need to be done:
1) create a number of package lists to supply to lh_config
2) supply a sources.list
3) customize the menu

If you want I could supply a working configuration to start out with but for a 
Debian-Med Live CD my config is too specific and needs work.

Let me know how you want me to proceed.

Sebastian

Re: FreeDiams uploaded

2009-10-04 Thread Andreas Tille
Hi, 

I commited packaging stuff for FreeDiams which splits the single binary
into two and also adds a doc packages.  I'm not completely happy with
this because when activating the rpath patch the dynamic libraries are
not found in the end.  This might be investigated later.

I have a question with the upstream program: Is there really a need
for asking the user to agree with the license?

Kind regards

  Andreas.

Welcome as a member of Debian Med team! ;-)

Charles recently pointed[1] to a very helpful link how to deal with
svn and ssh on Alioth.[2]

So it might be sufficient to do

  svn checkout 
svn+ssh://jmmiller-gu...@svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/bioruby

Well, my packaging looks OK from a packaging perspective (except that
some image files end up in /usr/lib instead of /usr/share, but that's
rather nitpicking of lintian).  The file layout in the new packages
the same as in the old packages.  I think it rather needs somebody to
actually *test* the packages because I have no idea what to do here.

If you think you (or anybody else) will not manage to test the result
of my packaging stuff we might just go with the upload and wait for
users reporting bugs.

Kind regards and thanks for your offer to help in any case

Andreas.

Charles, could you please give an update of the status of mummer package?

Hi Andreas,

Almost everything is done. There is a TODO point left in the changelog about
restoring a renaming. Since MUMmer is released under the artistic license, we
can not upload without double-checking that programs modified without the green
light of Upstream are indeed renamed. The reason I have not done so is that I
lost momentum when the upstream corrections for memory management took some
time to come. Everybody is welcome to do the upload after clearing this TODO
point. I plan to do this after uploading the bwa package that I prepared last
week, for which I will ask for a copyright review on the debian-med list. The
recent upload of infernal with incomplete copyright summary shows that we would
benefit seeking from peer review on this file for new packages.

Have a nice day,
