While we try to contact +upstream about this the current package is using the original header +file from gcc.

Each thread runs on a different + processor/core and all threads find alignments in parallel, + increasing alignment throughput by approximately a multiple of the + number of threads (though in practice, speedup is somewhat worse + than linear). + +There might be a chance to write a shell wrapper detecting whether your +computer has more processors and automatically inject the -p option in +this case. If you like this please file a bug report with severity +wishlist to let us know. + + -- Andreas Tille <[email protected]> Wed, 03 Sep 2014 09:50:22 +0200 Modified: trunk/packages/bowtie/trunk/debian/changelog =================================================================== --- trunk/packages/bowtie/trunk/debian/changelog 2014-09-03 07:53:19 UTC (rev 17931) +++ trunk/packages/bowtie/trunk/debian/changelog 2014-09-03 08:10:31 UTC (rev 17932) @@ -2,6 +2,8 @@ * Do not use copy of outdated gcc header file which destroys portability to other architectures + * Add README.Debian informing users about the fact that we ignore copy + of cpuid.h -- Andreas Tille <[email protected]> Wed, 03 Sep 2014 09:50:22 +0200 _______________________________________________ debian-med-commit mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-med-commit
