Steffen was talking about lots of packages he had in mind to get bcbio ready. Steffen, can you please add links at least as comments into the covid-19 task. I'd volunteer to add rough packaging skeletons at least to make them showing up at our tasks page which is currently pretty weak.

I had a private mail exchange with a member of the ftpteam. He has confirmed my suspicion that we can rely on them if its needed but general blaming that new queue processing is an issue is not helpful at all and I consider it a very good idea if we don't do this.

That would speed up the process. Again, apologies if that doesn't sound good enough. Regards, Nilesh

The dependencies of conda (the package manager) are packaged. Conda is ITPed (#926416) and its in a quite recent upstream version in salsa. You can find some discussion here on the list (unfortunately it was not consequently CCed to the ITP bug). > I'm not from medical background, but just wanted to give in a suggestion. > Apologies is that does not sound good. I think it sounds good (that's why I worked on this issue) but we have some test issues which are not solved yet. You are welcome to work on this, thought. > > I had a private mail exchange with a member of the ftpteam.

Well, I'm not really a fan of this. Our packages are low popcon in any case so they are not found by many users. We need extra advertising power to publish this. The time we might spent on extra advertising could be spent to make proper packages and as I tried to express: While new queue processing is sometimes slow I was always successful to convince ftpmaster with good reasons to enable some perfectly acceptable processing time (24h may be 72h). Once we have packages in Debian properly some well established derivatives might profit from our work and the whole Debian world will be provided with our work. If you ask me that's a more sustainable approach than dumping half-ready packages to some not well known place. > That would speed up the process. > Again, apologies if that doesn't sound good enough. No need to apologise. Any ideas are worth discussing. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de

I am not sure it is the same with the one you introduced. https://opensourceventilator.ie/ I found it in following architcle. 7 open hardware projects working to solve COVID-19 https://opensource.com/article/20/3/open-hardware-covid19 -- Jun | He - His - Him
