Dear sir, I'm writing on behalf of the Debian Med project which tries to assemble Free Software for bio-medical research in a ready to install form inside the Debian GNU/Linux system (and thus as a consequence into Ubuntu). Your product TraceViewer is one of the best sequence chromatography tool

Hi, I have updated biomaj to include commons-cli2 source with biomaj and to build the jar at packaging time. In the future, we plan to remove this dependency to avoid issues with this lib. I still have some work on biomaj-watcher for same reasons (included jars), but you can check biomaj

Hi, regarding biomaj-watcher, I cannot remove jar dependencies, as many are not packaged for Debian (though under open source license). I did a try, but it is too difficult to get all those libs from source and compile them with the biomaj-watcher (lots of libraries dependencies, env setup

Hello, I wonder if anybody has thought about providing large data sets, like genomes, microarray data, etc. into debian packages in a way that makes it easy for users to get those data sets onto their machine, making it easier to use various tools? I can think of many great ways this would be

Hi Scott, I think your idea is quite reasonable in principle. As far as I understood (but I did not dived into this) the getData effort[1] is one step into this direction and the to be soon uploaded package Biomaj does something that might be helpful as well. Regarding to actually buold

just few cents. In the domain of neuroimaging we are also confronted with the problem of distributing data. Various aspects are relevant to this question if someone is to package data statically (instead of fetching via some data-sharing framework) into a proper Debian package: 1. with a

I think putting the data itself into debian repository is problematic. Regardless of any licensing issue, the shear amount of data is too great. Better to let the professionals who are getting paid to manage the data (NCBI, KEGG, etc.) and download directly from those sites. Pretty much all

well -- this issue is tangentially related to the software: why should we care about having Debian packages while there are CRAN, easy_install, etc -- all those great tools to deploy software -- domain specific and created by specialists. Although such comparison is a stretch, I think it has its

Hi RuiBang, many thanks for considering to release your bio-medical software under a free license. While my question rather was about SOAPdenovo because some colleague had some explicite interest in this part we definitely are interested in including other high quality software - provided that
