Sure. But sometimes there are different tests and if we would skip only one to get rid of this Build-Depends that could be worth thinking about. > On a sidenote, this > dependency on vienna-rna is also what keeps bcbio out of main, which > depends on seqcluster and vienna-rna. BTW, is it a *workflow* (thus kind of a user application)? If so the name python3-seqcluster is *wrong* and should be rather only seqcluster. We prefix package that provides a Python3 **module** with python3 and not any package that by chance was written in Python3. So please consider renaming the package (and the repository) to seqcluster if its not a module you include somewhere in some workflow but rather a self-standing application. > > I need to admit I have not built the package myself since > > I was to lazy to add non-free to my pbuilder. > > Very much understood ;) I just knew I cannot send this to you without > having run this in cowbuilder over here, so I had to go for it. > > I am happy to just have vienna-rna suggested instead of recommended, so > I wait for your comment on the non-free build-dep. Only if we can strip the test suite to not necessarily need vienna-rna. BTW, did you contacted vienna-rna upstream to free their code and if yes, please add this attempt to https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/SoftwareLiberation Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
