staden for Debian ----------------- There seem to be some issues which need to be solved to gain full functionality. However, for the moment most components of staden are working and so the following items could be turned into minor bug reports item by item. This might lead to better chances for testing rather than leaving the packaging hanging around in SVN only. * Help does not work because of missing files couldn't open "/usr/share/doc/staden/manual/gap4.index": no such file or directory * $ staden spin. EMBOSS: data directory not found * $ staden create_emboss_files. no files matched glob pattern "/*.acd" while executing "glob $acd_dir/*.acd" (procedure "process_files" line 3) invoked from within "process_files $acd_dir $acdtcl_dir" (file "/usr/share/staden/tcl/spin_emboss/create_emboss_files.tcl" line 140) Hint: spin_emboss/create_emboss_files.tcl: set acd [file dirname $dir]/../share/EMBOSS/acd I somehow suspect that /share/EMBOSS needs to be dropped Name conflict with spin (bug #826684) ===================================== At http://bugs.debian.org/826684 between the one executable of staden and the package spin. The short story is: We are facing a name clash in the Free Software universe and we have to circumvent this somehow. Following the arguing in the bug discussion the plink package has to do the name change. To summarize, we have: 1. The spin executable /usr/lib/staden/bin/spin where all executables of the staden package reside anyway 2. The wrapper that was provided in /usr/bin/spin is removed in favour of /usr/lib/debian-med/bin/spin If you want to use spin right from the cpmman line just set the PATH variable like export PATH=/usr/lib/debian-med/bin:$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, 14 Jul 2016 20:04:52 +0200
