io-lib is a library from the Staden package that is also available independantly. As we have problems handling the whole Staden package, and as I had a preliminary package hanging around on my hard drive, I uploaded it to our repository.
Thanks. I also had some trouble when I gave staden a try some time ago and that I want to add the remark that we should definitely try to settle down with one copy of io-lib inside Debian (either the separate or the one whic is in the staden tarball). Moreover I want to repeat my preconceive that io-lib is a quite generic name for a very specific think - perhaps upstream (in CC) might think about this again.
Again, I do not plan to push hard on getting it in Debian before the release.
IMHO we are not in a hurry with this. But I want to use this chance to ping our fellow Debian developers at Sanger to consider some cooperation with the internal Debian project that really targets at their application. He, guys please have another look at the project and perhaps visit http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio.html or if it is rather about development of biological applications http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio-dev.html Please consider sharing your work with the Debian community and if you think the currently existing stuff is "not good for you" just try it to tweak it into something that is good enough for you (and other people out there).
