Dear all, I am very happy to announce that since this release 5.0.0, the Debian-Med project provides binary packages for EMBOSS. Installation on Debian is now as easy as "aptitude install emboss". By default, Debian's tool "aptitude" will also install dialign and primer3, so that the wrappers can work out of the box[1]. For clustalw, due to licence issues, you will need to add the "non-free" category to your package list, and "aptitude install clustalw" Debian's package for EMBOSS has been tested as an experimental package for version 4.1.0 and is expected to be stable. However, it still has the following limitations: - Since the pcre_internal.h header is not shipped in the "emboss-libs" package, compiling external apps will be difficult (but we are working on this). - EMBASSY is not yet available. - Java support is disabled by default. - The "cons" and "pscan" had to be renamed "em_cons" and "em_pscan" because other programs with this name are already in Debian. However, we provide an additional path, /usr/lib/emboss, in which we guarantee that names will always be unchanged. Debian packages for EMBOSS provide a manpage for each program. They are autobuilt from the acd files, and their informational content is a bit higher than the --help option, and lower than the tfm manual. In addition to EMBOSS, we also packaged the emboss-explorer frontend. Just "apt-get install emboss-explorer" and enjoy it at: http://localhost/emboss-explorer We are now working on packaging the EMBASSY programs. Have a nice day, Charles Plessy, for the Debian-Med packaging team. [1] After writing this email, I realised that edialign dissapeared in EMBOSS 5.0.0. An updated package will be uploaded, which does not depend on dialign. -- Charles Plessy Debian-Med packaging team Wako, Saitama, Japan _______________________________________________ EMBOSS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss
