Re: Status of BioCocoa (Was: trunk/packages/biococoa)

BioCocoa is ready for upload!  The bits of code under question were re-released 
under the Lucent Public License 1.02 which should pass Debian guidelines.  
Sorry it took so long!

cheers

Bug#596733: unblock: ncbi-tools6/6.1.20100808-1 (as -2)

2010-09-13 Thread Aaron M. Ucko
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Greetings!

ncbi-tools6 recently had its first upstream release in a year, issued
a few days before your latest announcement.  (As the version number
indicates, the sources themselves are somewhat older; however, the
public release thereof didn't occur until August 27.)  Here's the
changelog block:

ncbi-tools6 (6.1.20100808-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release; the upgrade to BLAST 2.2.24 (from 2.2.21) should
address a formatdb regression.  (LP: #586219.)
  * Uploading to experimental because squeeze is frozen.
  * debian/rules
- Clean up compilation settings; in particular, use dpkg-buildflags rather
  than relying on dpkg-buildpackage to have set CFLAGS appropriately.
- (clean): restore expected empty directories if necessary,
  for compatibility with VCSes (notably git) that don't track them.
- (install-indep-stamp): adapt to new ncbilogo.ico contents.
- (VIB): add asndisc, as upstream takes care to publish binaries thereof.
  * debian/ncbi-tools6.install: likewise add asndisc.
  * (debian/).gitignore: Ignore content generated during build.
  * debian/lib{ncbi6,vibrant6a}.symbols: update for latest release.
  * make/makenet.unx: don't link asndisc against extraneous libraries.
  * doc/man/*.1: update for latest release.
  * doc/man/asndisc.1: throw together a man page for asndisc.
  * doc/man/cleanasn.1: fix SEE ALSO formatting.
  * debian/control:
- bump dpkg-dev build-dep to >= 1.15.7 for dpkg-buildflags.
- Standards-Version: 3.9.1 (already compliant).
- note switch to git-mediated Debian-Med team maintenance.

In particular, please note that this upload fixes a nasty regression
reported in Launchpad:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncbi-tools6/+bug/586219

There's no corresponding Debian bug report at present, but I can
formally issue one if you'd like. ;-)

At any rate, I uploaded my packages of the new release to experimental
out of respect for the freeze, but would greatly appreciate it if you
could please authorize a reupload to unstable with the intent of
making it into squeeze.  I concede that the diff

http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-med/ncbi-tools6.git;a=commitdiff;hp=3a98718;h=c4b77b0

is on the large side; however, the impact on reverse dependencies
should be negligible, as most of the changed interfaces are only used
internally.  (Also, leaving out changes to spacing and fully generated
files helps a fair bit; the result is still larger than I care to
attach :-/, but I've posted a copy at

http://people.debian.org/~ucko/ncbi-tools6_6.1.20100808-1.full-diff

that you're welcome to review as you see fit.)

Per reportbug, I'm including the relevant unblock directive for your
convenience:

unblock ncbi-tools6/6.1.20100808-2

Thanks in advance for considering this request; please let me know if
you have any questions or concerns.

That's good news.

> Sorry it took so long!

Well, we failed to reach the freeze date.  However, I guess the world
will not stop spinning around of this and we should probably build the
package without hecticness.

Scott, you once worked on this package.  Would you volunteer to prepare
final packages for upload.  I'm currently a bit distracted by other
tasks (GNUmed packaging, some Blends infrastraucture things, etc.)  For
sure other volunteers are welcome as well.

Kind regards

 Andreas.

If the libraries are used outside of their own source package (which is
the case here for embassy-*, AIUI), then they are not private, and need
to be versioned correctly so those other packages can link against them
and get proper dependencies.

Sure.  I'm not sure what's involved in upload though.  I've checked in changes 
to the debian-med repository and verified the package builds.  If you can point 
me to a document about other tasks, I will be happy to do them.
