Dear Michael, we definitely consider preparing official emboss packages for the backports.org facility. But in the meantime, you can use the backport I just prepared on my personnal website: http://charles.plessy.org/debian/emboss/ I prepared them in a minimal Etch chroot (with security updates), so I could not test them, but I do not see a reason why they should not work. These unofficial packages are unfortunately not GPG signed. Please tell me if it is a problem. The Debian source package (same for Sid/Lenny, and unofficial Etch) contain the psiphi patch: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-emboss/emboss/trunk/debian/patches/psiphi-fix-2007-07-27.patch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 (same as ftp://emboss.open-bio.org/pub/EMBOSS/fixes/patches ) Please report any problem or suggestion to me, or to the Debian-Med mailing list (CC'ed): http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/ Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Debian-Med packaging team Wakō, Saitama, Japan _______________________________________________ EMBOSS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss
