For some other bits I once asked for the pkg-escience project, just knowing that none of the packages would be of a quality sufficient for an upload in any reasonable time. Biojava has since moved from there. Other bits still remain. I personally am extremely happy to have this rogue repository as a fits it all backup, Andreas is less so. Please upload your drafts, I am certain someone will benefit. Best, Steffen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
