Hi Steffen and everybody,
maybe it would be useful to produce and distribute one small Singularity
container per debian-med package ?
I know that biocontainers are popular but...
1) their contents are heterogenous and unpredictable. In particular,
some contain GNU sed, and other only contain busybox sed. This makes
writing shell scripts a real pain.
2) I am not confident that they are all DFSG-free, in particular
regarding non-commercial use clauses.
3) Some of them lag behind upstream versions, and as a Debian developer
it is far easier for me to update a Debian package than update a
biocontainer.
4) Maybe we can innovate a way to circumvent the need for "mulled"
containers, by taking advantage that most of our packages can run
perfectly on identical Stable roots ?
Have a nice day,
Charles
