Irrespective of the fact that this particular software is packed for Debian, I would like to point out that I would prefer that people DO keep advertising for free (scientific) software they feel is use- and helpful even if its NOT YET packaged for Debian. There are so many excellent pieces of software available out there that at least I am unaware that they exist and some of them might even solve my problems. In the "worst" case I (as a newbie) even dare to do the Linux triple-jump "./configure; make; make install" if the program sounds useful to me. If, however, several people should feel offended by this kind of advertising, how about a tag to such mails in the topic line, e.g. "[Recommended] Superduper solveallproblems-software (yet no .deb)". This could easily be filtered out by those who don't like that. Just my thoughts, Stephan -- Stephan Gromer, MD. PhD.
