Really? I didn't know emboss had grave bugs. Are you saying they can't be fixed? I can't find many references to bugs in emboss, but maybe you are referring to bugs like this: - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=427439 ? > However, some Debian developpers provides a separate repository in which > only official developers upload recent packages recompiled for Etch.

Thank you very much: I think many people are interested, expecially from the Ubuntu users community. Emboss is seen as a educational package to learn bioinformatics: so, it would be better if people can install it easily by themselves, instead of asking to a system manager. Maybe you can just add the link to debian backports in the help page. > Have a nice day, > and to you, too! > -- > Charles Plessy > Debian-Med packaging team > Wako, Saitama, Japan > _______________________________________________ > EMBOSS mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss > -- ----------------------------------------------------------- My Blog on Bioinformatics (italian): http://dalloliogm.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ EMBOSS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss
