That's the problem of many interested people - or rather for biologists
the problem is not that hard because their field is just covered by Debian-Med. 
:)
I would suggest to join this effort until it becomes obvious that it will
not scale any more.

From your mails I guess you are working more in a laboraty-oriented field of 
biology. Of which kind of work are you talking?


Analysis of gene sequences of bacteria and viruses as well as gene sequences
to identify diseases.  Yes it is more or less laboraty-oriented and the
software inside Debian covers this field.

So what would be interesting, would be at least a list of packages and a 
little brainstorming what can be possible (wiki?).


Having a list of other packages would be interesting.


Any one interested? Critics? Comments? I know it is a little vague...


If you know it is vague, perhaps posting to this list a short summary
of packages which are in your mind.

Kind regards

Andreas.

xdvi is giving warnings due to hyperref

[kamaraju kusumanchi]

Hi all

I have attached the reduced .tex file and its .dvi file in this email. 
To reproduce the problem download the test.tex.



$latex test.tex

Now test.dvi will be produced.

$xdvi --version
xdvik version 22.84.8 (Xaw toolkit)
Libraries: kpathsea version 3.4.5, T1lib version 5.0.2

open the xdvi window and go to the last page by pressing pg-down 
button and then press 'q' to quit the xdvi. On the konsole you will see 
warning like


$xdvi test.dvi
xdvi.bin:  cannot get scaling factors.

xdvi.bin: Warning: Raw Postscript commands on page 4 may be rendered

xdvi.bin:  cannot get scaling factors.
xdvi.bin: Warning: Raw Postscript commands on page 5 may be rendered 
incorrectly.


I am getting the warnings only when hyperref package is used. Otherwise 
there are no warnings.


1) Can someone reproduce the problem?

2) Is this a known bug or should I report it? If it is to be reported, 
Which package should it be reported against?


3) Are there any workarounds for this problem?

thanks
raju
