sra-toolkit for Debian ---------------------- There is a name conflict of the executable kget with the kget download manager. So in Debian the executable is renamed to sra-kget. Upstream was recommended to change the name in https://github.com/ncbi/sra-tools/issues/55 Upstream is aware of this issue and will rename to vdb-get. For the moment the Debian Med team deals with situation usually the following way: 1. The kget executable belonging to sra-toolkit is renamed to /usr/bin/vdb-get and can be used as this or users can use 2. symlink with the original name in /usr/lib/debian-med/bin/kget If you want to use sra-toolkit's kget right from the command line just set the PATH variable like export PATH=/usr/lib/debian-med/bin:$PATH If a user creates a file ${HOME}/.blends with the content # Add Blend names here which should prepend its bin dir to PATH debian-med the med-config package automatically adds this PATH to the users environment (when using bash). -- Andreas Tille Thu, 05 Jan 2017 10:33:38 +0100
