Hi Andreas, unless there are major problems of backwards compatibility, I think that we should release with the new version of SAMtools based on the HTSlib, which introduces support for the new CRAM format. I uploaded version 1.0 in experimental for only two reasons: - first, I wanted to test it more, and give opportunity to others to test it as well, - second, I was not sure if dynamic linking was fully supported since it requires patching the makefile. My current plan is to wait a bit more if there is a new upstream version that would solve all of this (and include our patches that I forwarded on GitHub). But if such an update does not come soon, then I (or others) should upload samtools to Unstable. Regarding the portability, I do not know if the 1.x line will induce regressions or not, but if this is the case, I would like to solve the problem by dropping support for the failing architectures, unless the upstream developers show interest for them.
