Hi, Dylan. I want to make use of Debian-Med packages that have build depends for g++-7 in Bio-Linux, which is based on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty). It is simple to build these packages from source under Ubuntu 14.04 if the Ubuntu 'tools' PPA is available. I guess the situation is common for backports, but I don't know what Debian-Med policy is about it. Thanks for your advice, Tony. -- Minke Informatics Limited, Registered in Scotland - Company No. SC419028 Registered Office: 3 Donview, Bridge of Alford, AB33 8QJ, Scotland (UK) tel. +44(0)19755 63548 http://minke-informatics.co.uk mob. +44(0)7985 078324 mailto:[email protected]
