I do not think so. If you look at http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/his or http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/laboratory there is not even a single package inside Debian (and thus no metapackages are created by blends-dev). So if we have at least a few packages that do fit into a new category we should probably stop using med-bio as kitchen sink for everything which might fit on biologists desktop. > I would think that > med-bio is the best place to list the programs to package.

We definitely need to split somehow. Even the idea for a separate Blend popped up to my mind - there was some really funny mail in the first year(s) of Debian Med where somebody accused my to occupy the topic Biology for Medicine. My reply that every body is free to take over and build an own Biology project and we "release" all the stuff from Debian Med remained unanswered ... I'm not sure whether now the time is ripe to go this step. IMHO we have enough man power for both teams, could maintain a strong relation and the split is quite clear - even clearer than sometimes between DebiChem and the biological software. Please do not understand it as an actual *proposal* but some kind of openly thinking whether this might solve the large med-bio problem. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de Klarmachen zum Ändern! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
