Thanks a lot for your kind offer! I will let you know as soon as I reach
a point of effort parallelization :)

cuteSV - tests missing, but otherwise already nice

2021-07-19 Thread Steffen Möller

Hello,

I gave Andreas' cuteSV package a help2man-based man page and an extra
dependency that --help needed but otherwise I think this is ready to be
uploaded. I'll see what I can do wrt tests.

Best,

Steffen

Let us know if you need help with packaging the chain, in case you need helping 
hands :-)

This would definitely be great to have in Debian. I expect this protein
structure predictor heavily depends on pre-trained neural networks.
Making them DFSG-compliant might be very difficult (see Unofficial

I am particularly interested in this. However, this field is quite
unrepresented in Debian, AFAIK. Some time ago I packaged
MacroMoleculeBuilder [2], which does homology modeling. All I have tried
is a couple of examples, but it is definitely worth giving a look.
Currently I am looking into ProMod3 [3], which seems to be the engine
behind the great SWISS-MODEL service [4]. I seem to have figured out the
dependencies, will go on to packaging next.
