For instance -the number of packages that are useful for the maintenance of a medical -practice has increased from 6 to 10 and the number of packages dealing -with medical imaging was bumped from 71 to 92. An important step for -the acceptance of Debian in hospitals was done by getting GT.M packaged -since this is the underlying database engine for VistA. However, the -largest step was (again) done in the bioinformatics task of Debian Med. -While in Wheezy 172 packages for application in biology and the -development of such applications existed we have now 283 packages in -this field. - -Partly this number was not increased by packaging only new software -but also by negotions with upstream authors to free their code and -thus we were able to move packages from non-free to main Debian. The -most prominent package here is PHYLIP (and thus also its dependencies). - -However, we did not only care for the number of packages. Specifically -the biological software is used by scientists who depend on reproducible -results in their work. To guarantee this we applied Debian means to -test the quality of packages. On one hand this is done at package build -time where we tried hard to run any available test suite provided by the -upstream authors. Since debhelper 9 does this automatically for -standard test suites we bumped nearly all packages to this compatibility -level. We also tried hard to rebuild also those packages where the -upstream code did not changed on one hand to profit from this testing on -the other hand to possibly gain from new optimisation features of newer -compilers. - -In addition to these tests at build time we tried hard to provide -autopkgtests (DEP8) to a lot of packages. This ensures that the package -produces the same results even if prerequisites might have changed. -This way we tried our best to support scientists in their attempt to -get reproducible results. - - -# enhanced teamwork - -# sprints Deleted: trunk/community/releasenotes/stretch/release-notes-bug_782695.patch =================================================================== --- trunk/community/releasenotes/jessie/release-notes-bug_782695.patch 2017-05-29 13:51:34 UTC (rev 23773) +++ trunk/community/releasenotes/stretch/release-notes-bug_782695.patch 2017-05-31 13:41:51 UTC (rev 23774) @@ -1,22 +0,0 @@ ---- whats-new.dbk 2015-04-16 13:18:27.000000000 +0200 -+++ whats-new.dbk_new 2015-04-16 13:29:25.125753555 +0200 -@@ -529,5 +529,19 @@ - <ulink url="http://blends.debian.org/games/tasks/finest";>Debian's finest games</ulink>. - </para> - </section> -+<section id="debian-med"> -+ <title>News from Debian Med Blend</title> -+ <para>The Debian Med team has increased the number of packages in the -+ field of biology and medicine again by a large amount.
