Hi all, interestingly, they just published a correspondance in Nature about public repositories. I have contacted them in private and will let you know the outcome. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v439/n7079/full/439912a.html In my search for packages already made, I found another repository, in the university of Waterloo, Canada. Same question : do you know them ? https://www.bioinformatics.uwaterloo.ca/wiki/index.php?refs=Local%20Debian%20Repository I will contact them next week. They have at least one package of a GPLed program which is not available elswhere (LAGAN). The closeness or their repository makes sense as it also contains proprierary software, and open-source-but-do-not-make-money software (for instance, BLAT). Hope that the next mails will be for good news, -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
