I was a vocal advocate of the GPP4 effort to the CCP4 exec while there were problems with the licensing of the CCP4 core libraries. Now that the core libraries are back under LGPL(v3) I'm afraid that I don't see the point. Given the amount of work supporting software generates, and more importantly my total inability to understand autoconf, I have to think very carefully about what I support.

While I have no objection to people linking any of my applications, or indeed Coot, to GPP4, if problems arise then I can't commit to providing any assistance.

Given that the current CCP4 build system is somewhat non-standard, I might be prepared to support an effort which provided an alternative build system to work with the CCP4 provided source code, however.

Same goes for refmac 5.6 series. It should be stable enough for general use in a few months time

Hi

I'd like to point out that anyone trying to do anything with Mosflm 7.0.6 does so at their own risk - I don't anticipate it being released to the general public for some months, and has several "interesting and unexpected features".

Mosflm 7.0.5 is the most recent official release.

The most important new feature is that gpp4 now supports the CCP4 library's
FORTRAN API. This means that the programs REFMAC (version 5.6.0031) and
MOSFLM (version 7.0.6),
