Re: [Debian-med-packaging] Bug#609038: ITP: biomaj -- a biological databank update and processing tool

[Olivier Sallou <olivier.sallou@irisa.fr>]

Hi,
the issue is commons-cli-2 never released an "official" release. Version 
is stable, but project dropped on snapshot release.
The version 1 is not compatible (new features were added to version 2).

I can get the commons-cli2 sources, and get it compiled with biomaj, but 
I don't know if it should be packaged as a Debian package as it was kept 
as a snapshot release and there is no more support.

What do you think?

Olivier
