Dear all, I tried to package staden some time ago for work and ran in the same Tcl/Tk problem. I finally got blocked by the fact that Staden uses a "compatibility" file from the source Tk distribution, which is not included in the Debian package:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=426348 [I did not realise the maintainer was not active this year... Shall we NMU ?] I have seen on some newsgroups, such as bionet.software.staden, people trying to install (often on Ubuntu), and having problems getting the build dependancies correct. Definitely, having Staden in Debian (and therefore Ubuntu) would increase its userbase. To my knowledge here is no decent free (libre) chromatogram viewer for Unix, except in Staden. Compared to the closed-source freeware competitors on other platforms (FinchTV, 4peaks [based on... Staden's iolib]), it does not look modern, but since there is no alternative, I am sure that a Debian package for Staden will have users. Also, it would be definitely very important to diffuse libre tools which can deal with XXI century sequencing systems, because enormous amounts of data will be produced, and it would really be a shame that one has to purchase proprietary software to access raw data. [Andreas, it may be too late, but I will send you my patches monday when I get back to work, where the files are...] Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy http://charles.plessy.org Wako, Saitama, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
