Hello, Mike. I'm forwarding your request to fink-devel which is the list targeted at package maintainers.
Begin forwarded message: > From: Mike Dyall-Smith > Date: 2 de novembro de 2009 4h52min12s GMT-02:00 > To: fink-users > Subject: [Fink-users] ARB for FINK: help please > > The current fink version of ARB (a phylogenetics package used by > biologists around the world) is now obsolete. Ben Hines has been > instrumental in getting ARB onto the Mac but is unable to continue > this task. Matt Cottrell has been able to get the latest version of > ARB, running in 64 bit, and with all the 64-bit dependencies, up on > MacPorts at: > http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/science/arb/Portfile > > My request is for someone to help get a similar version available from > Fink. Matt tells me the code is now very clean, and needs little or no > patching. However, he had to work up the 64-bit dependencies. So it > would need to be someone who can package, and who knows about the > 64-bit upgrades to existing packages in fink. The listed dependencies > are: glew glw gsed imake lynx mesa openmotif sablotron tiff > > My role in the past has been to test out the program to see that it > functions, and to provide written instructions to help people to > install it. The advantage of having ARB updated on Fink is the > availability of so many other programs, and the large pool of helpful > members of the Fink community. > > ARB is a very important scientific tool and is used widely, so I'm > hoping to hear from someone soon. > > Mike Dyall-Smith > > PS: details about ARB in Fink are at: > http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/arb?rel_id=10.6-x86_64-current-unstable > > -- > _____________________________________ > Mike Dyall-Smith, Ph.D., > Visiting Professor, > Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry, > Am Klopferspitz 18a, Martinsried D82152, Germany > > email: mike.dyallsmith at gmail.com > web: www.haloarchaea.com > skype: mike.dyallsmith > _____________________________________ > > On measuring microbial diversity: > > "This is like randomly sampling a bus load of people and then trying > to infer the diversity of all people in the world.
