IIRC the only major flaw that might appear is the behaviour of Jalview when linked with the vanilla castor library, which could result in problems when storing and retrieving jalview and/or VAMSAS projects. > > For the record, the packaging can be found there: > > svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/jalview > http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-java/trunk/jalview > > > My plans are the following: > > * upload this package to debian almost as-is > * wait for Jim to provide the source code for vamsas (hint, hint ;-)...) > * then, move to main and package 2.7 at the same time > > There is only one small detail left (barring problems with the > current package): I need a statement from the copyright holders of the > vamsas-client.jar file saying that using, copying, distributing and > linking against this file are allowed.

Vamsas is actually LGPL - but that doesn't much difference, particularly in my own mind, since it was my fault that Jalview was released before I released v3 of vamsas. Therefore, the simplest option here is for me to make the source release of vamsas within the next couple of weeks (either directly on sourceforge, or via jalview's own git repo). I just have to do some code formatting (again ... ho hum).
Regarding future steps, if you can at all manage it, it would be really good if you could take a look at Jswingreader dependency as soon as possible. Version 2.7 is significantly more reliable than 2.6.x (in particular, the alignment/structure association stuff was very buggy in last year's version, which is probably quite relevant for your work!), and I'm planning on a more rapid release cycle over the next 6 months (at least 2 releases on 2.7).
