Hmmm - what is wrong with the vanilia castor library ? And what is changed in the one you distribute ? If that's a bug in castor, this may be fixed easily. >> 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.

I don't need an official release, just somewhere where I could get the code. Why do you want to perform code formatting ? If you just publish the repository, formatting can wait for an official release. I guess packging vamsas and then moving directly to 2.7 and to main is a good idea. I'll have a look at jswingreader.
