Hi Tony,
That sounds reasonable, especially if we want to keep them as discreet
projects. If Andreas would be willing to set this up that would be great.
As far as I can tell from the Debian documentation and what we've
discussed, the complete set of Bio-Linux tasks would simply be Tim's
original package list, divided into desktop and server tasks. I would
ask your preference on whether we would use the reduced list I created
which only has packages in sid (although this has some issues with
virtual packages) or the compete set. I know that the documentation
states the latter, but I don't know if all of the packages are still
useful to Bio-Linux. As for separating Bio-Linux server and client
packages, I can go through Tim's packages and try and create a list of
packages for a server task for review.
thanks,
William

In regards to the suggestion of a separate source package, what would
that involve? Personally I don't think that having the name
med-bio-linux-desktop would be an issue, since, as far as I'm aware the
package will be mainly distributed from within the bio-linux iso,
through download, usb and cd.
Hi, William.
I think it is an issue, because I'd like to install "bio-linux-desktop"
on an existing Ubuntu/Debian system using:
apt install bio-linux-desktop
I'd also like "bio-linux server", so the server-side can be removed from
the desktop. In principle I'd like to install everything using:
apt install bio-linux
As you can install all of "med-bio" using:
apt install med-bio
Bye,
Tony.
