Hi Andreas,
I'm not very happy with the rename of the binary to "plink2" for this
version. I speak with upstream about this [1] and he suggest me to not
rename plink 1.9 to "plink2" because the real plink 2 will break more
things and will be distributed under the "plink2" name.
So the options are:
1. Stay with the rename to "plink2" for the version 1.9. But with possible
breaks when the real plink2 will be released.
2. As suggest by upstream, stay with "p-link" for the version 1.9 with a
Breaks or Conflicts field in d/control for the plink 1.07. Not possible to
use both versions (1.07 and 1.9) at the same time, so not ideal to
replicate results obtained from plink 1.07.
3. Create a specific package ("plink1.9") for plink 1.9 to permit to have
the three versions in cohabitation during the transition. Which could
permit to replicate results obtained with all versions.
4. Others solutions?
Best regards,
Dylan
