Can you maybe file ITPs etc. as well, I was almost going to package ballview the other day.
I would like to make you remember that all information we have is available at http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio.html#ballview OK - I'm somehow cheating. I just added the WNPP bug number to our bio task file and rerendered the pages. But in most cases the task file is maintained well enough to give you enough information about the status of a prospective package. But considering the fact that you wanted to start some work on it I wonder whether you would have found out that the current packaging is even in our SVN at svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/ballview/trunk/ ? I used to put those project under "Experimental or unofficial Debian packages, projects with packaging stuff in SVN" but gave the location of an unofficial package preference over the link to SVN. This might lead people like you to obtain packaging stuff from the source package and inject it into a different repository. (BTW, I don't care whether a package is in Debian Med or DebiChem repository - I just would like to avoid having the same thing in different repositories.) So the question I'm thinking about is: Should the tasks page mention both (link to unofficial package AND SVN) if there are both links available? BTW, I really hope that this case somehow proves the sense of this listing of prospective packages. Recently Daniel Leidert wrote me a very unhappy mail about my intend to help DebiChem to maintain the same thing. At least at Debian Science mailing list somebody was interested but did not realised that the thing I mentioned there is not ready yet. I hope you understood my reasoning there that I will continue only in case I get some response which is different from the negative one I just got in private mail. Kind regards and thanks for your interest in ballview Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
