No LONG TERM harmful effect... I have decided to expedite. I'm using too much time. I, like Donald Trump, am supremely confident, I'll skip caution, and just do it and we can fiddle with it after. Need to write a NEWS item to warn the user. will need to do booststrap configure --prefix=WHATEVERITWAS questions: Use "pkg/ directory?" Yes (Requires changed line in every gsrc Makefile) Actually merge the biosrc packages? Yes They are all libre software. Maybe someone who came for GNUjump will try something new like blast, and vice versa. Move packages around directories in pkg/ ? Yes Attempt logic and nonredundancy, high virtues. If I don't do it all soon, while the whirlwind is happening, then I'd put it on TODO list which is NEVER DO list.
