Hi Steffen, I think that there is a consensus. Also, it is something I have promised for a long time. I will put this on top of my priority list, now that I finished procrastinating with ikiwiki. I wonder if we need some transition, like having the old med-bio package depending on the two new ones, before being removed one release later? For the names of the new packages, we can either clearly differentiate them, like: - med-bioinformatics: Command lines tools for bioinformatics - med-graphical-sequence-analysis: Graphical tools for sequence analysis and molecular biology or we can have one graphical and one command line package with the same base name. - med-bio-headless: Command line tools for bioinformatics - med-bio-gui: Graphical tools for sequence analysis and molecular biology A third possibility, perhaps closer to Steffen's proposition, is to have the gui package include the headless one: - med-bio-headless: Command line tools for bioinformatics - med-bio: Tools for bioinformatics and molecular biology (in all the cases, since the scope of the med-bio package grew beyond microbiology, I recommend to take the opportunity to change its description).
