Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Charles Plessy <ple...@debian.org>
Package name : sra-sdk Version : 2.0.0rc1 Upstream Author : National Center for Biotechnology Information (U. S. A.) URL : http://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/sra.cgi?cmd=show&f=software&m=software&s=software License : Public domain (U. S. A. governmental work) Programming Lang: C Description : utilities for the NCBI Sequence Read Archive Tools for reading the SRA archive, generally by converting individual runs into some commonly used format such as fastq. It also includes sources to loader tools that are still under test. The intention is to give pre-release access to the reader code. . The textual dumpers "sra-dump" and "vdb-dump" are provided in this release as an aid in visual inspection. It is likely that their actual output formatting will be changed in the near future to a stricter, more formalized representation[s]. PLEASE DO NOT RELY UPON THE OUTPUT FORMAT SEEN IN THIS RELEASE. . The "help" information will be improved in near future releases, and the tool options will become standardized across the set. We will also be providing documentation on our web site. . Tool options may change in the next release. Version 1 tool options will remain supported wherever possible in order to preserve operation of any existing scripts. I will first upload to experimental until a final release is published. There will be 3 binary packages: sra-toolkit with the binaries, sra-toolkit-libs0 with the runtime libraries, and sra-toolkit-libs-dev for developers. I understand that having one package per library is ideal, but the number of different libaries is quite large: /usr/lib/libwkdb.so.1.1.2 /usr/lib/libkproc.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libsra-schema.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libvdb.so.2.0.4 /usr/lib/libkq.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libksrch.so.1.0.2 /usr/lib/libkfs.so.1.0.2 /usr/lib/libkdb.so.1.1.2 /usr/lib/libwvdb.so.2.0.4 /usr/lib/libksproc.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libkfg.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libkxml.so.1.0.2 /usr/lib/libwsradb.so.3.0.1 /usr/lib/libklib.so.1.1.0 /usr/lib/libsrareader.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libsradb.so.3.0.1 This said, if a more experienced developer would still recommend me to make one package per library, I will. I checked with upstream and these libraries are intended for public use (although given that they are recent, there is no known third-party using them yet).
