Hi, I tried to dive into BioImageSuite preconditions and stumbled about the fact that they mention "MINC20-OCT07.tar.gz" which seems to refer to the minc2.0 library. I found out that the Debian packaged version is 1.5 (which is lagging a bug fix release behind upstream) and that there are several archives at the download page http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/tgz/ with versions up to 2.0.14. The WHATSNEW-2.0 file in this archive documents until 'Release 2.0.09 ("beta 5")' so I tried to find some web pages that explain the situation. I found
http://wiki.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/index.php/MINC http://wiki.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/index.php/WhatIsMINC2 which both seems to be outdated (at least both more than one year older than the quite recently released code. The first link on the web page points to http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/software/minc/minc.html which contains a link to a _very_ outdated source version (1.2). So the situation what our real targt should be is at best "unclear". Could anybody take some time to clarify the situation with upstream? I also filed a "New version available" bug (#450922) against minc (that somehow seemed to miss its target source package and that's why I reassigned it to mint-tools - there seems to be a bug in debbugs and I asked for clarification about this at debian-devel). In this bug report I also suggested team maintainance of minc. BTW, if browsing the source archive directory http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/tgz/ there seems to be some other interesting software. Could anybody try to evaluate what's there and if there are any other targets? -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
