Hi,
the recent adding of debian/upstream/edam files without any announcement
seems to create some confusion:

[svn-buildpackage] Tagging bowtie 1.1.1-2
Charles had removed the file which was recently added at the sprint - I
guess because he was not aware about its nature. I think before those
files will be added we should talk about it and send a short
introduction to the list.
I completely agree with you, and I am sorry if any of my actions
actually disturbed the work of debian team members.
Hervé, Steffen, would you be so kind to do this?
I would suggest that I write a draft for such an introduction, then
validate it with Andreas, Steffen and Jon Ison before to send it. What
about it?
BTW, when realising that you are not using UDD[1] (at least I guess so
from the fact that there is no hit in
$ grep -Ri udd trunk/community/edam
) and when also noticing that you fetched some metadata in
trunk/community/edam/test/test_muscle/debian
which is completely available in UDD you most probably are suffering
from an unfortunate design for the problem you want to solve. I admit
I'm coming up a bit late with this since the Sprint is over but I have
realised this right now. We should have definitely talked about the
usage of UDD which contains *all* machine readable metadate about our
packages in a very easily accessible form.
If UDD contains all the metadata, then yes, I'm all in favor of this! I
really like parsing files, but if there is already a unified source for
this, I'll have a look into it. Should we discuss this in the
"introduction" thread?
Cheers,
Hervé
Kind regards
Andreas.
