He explain me that he provides a script which extract part of it's local installation of cctbx and he did no changed the code. Now the API/ABI stability is a important question I created a wiki page for the cctbx packaging effort [1] do not hesitate to use it for coordination. I put some questions so be free and abuse of this wiki page :) so yes the upstream author is ok with patch of it's build system. If you could provide a cmake/autotools rewrite of it home made Makefile he would be happy but this is another story :) [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/cctbx Cheers Frederic -- GPG public key 4096R/4696E015 2011-02-14 fingerprint = E92E 7E6E 9E9D A6B1 AA31 39DC 5632 906F 4696 E015 uid Picca Frédéric-Emmanuel <[email protected]> GPG public key 1024D/A59B1171 2009-08-11 fingerprint = 1688 A3D6 F0BD E4DF 2E6B 06AA B6A9 BA6A A59B 1171 uid Picca Frédéric-Emmanuel <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
