Hi, I took a look at your gromacs package as I accidently found the ITP. I've been trying to package gromacs for a couple of years now, so I am glad I checked before just uploading something :)
Anyway, I played around with your package a bit and got some questions: 1. Did you consider putting the changes you do to upstream into seperate patches, maintained in a debian/patches directory via a patch-system like dpatch or quilt? 2. When you modify configure, why do you not change configure.in accordingly? I believe we should rather patch configure.in and regenerate configure (possibly removing unneeded noise in the diff). Did you consider sending your modifications upstream, possible making them more generic (like ${MPI_LIBSUFFIX}) 3. Did you consider making a gromacs-doc package including the manual? I think it bloats up the Debian diff rather considerably. Alos, you got the manual from www.gromacs.org, right? Did you clarify whether the copyright is the same as for the program or something else? 4. Finally, would you consider maintaining gromacs as part of a hopefully-soon-to-be-started Debian-chemistry-packaging-team effort from svn.debian.org? Are you a Debian Developer? If not, do you need sponsoring? cheers, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
