Like you indicated, that's not the only concern. On behalf of stable release users, I think making a recent version of samtools available in stable-backports is important-- I think the backports repository is a huge reason why Debian stable is usable for everyday purposes (and it's the main reason why I switched to Debian from Ubuntu for my own machines). > Samtools 1.3 will be buildable on i386, so you need to consider the tradeoff > between backporting the fixes from 1.3 to 1.2, or working on other issues and > just wait for the upstream release of samtools 1.3. > If that's the case, waiting for 1.3 sounds reasonable.
