from my side I would be particularly interested to learn about the packages that Bio-Linux wants to see redistributed with them but that are yet not in Debian. The https://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio pages have that yellow section that lists a few bio-linux ones. How would you (Andreas and Tony) feel about moving them to the Bio-Linux list? > >> 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.

The complete list, I propose. The colouring to indicate what is available and what is on salsa etc is done in an automated fashion. >> I know that the documentation states the latter, but I don't know if >> all of the packages are still useful to Bio-Linux. I tend to agree that a refurbished Bio-Linux should address today's problems more than the ones of the past. But you can easily remove packages by just deleting a line, so, first let's have a look about how much we already cover. >> 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. > Please check all files for spelling issues etc. There is no point in > manually editing debian/control or biolinux-tasks.desc since these are > autogenerated.

I am not sure about how far we are from everything. It would help if we just have something as a start. Best, Steffen
