Hi, I wonder what the status of ncbi-blast+ might be. There is a new upstream version (2.2.31) for some time. It has also some longer standing open bugs where #798277 has a very simple patch and as far as I can see #793263 simply needs a simple rebuild of the package.
Since I never dealt with this package and it was always maintained pretty much in time I wonder whether I should touch it or whether somebody of the former Uploaders (Aaron, Olivier) like to harvest these low hanging fruits for our advent calendar bug squashing party. Just let me know if you need some help Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
