Hello, I'm contacting you on behalf of the Debian Med team, a group within the Debian project that packages software for biology and medicine. You can find a list of our work on biology software projects at http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio
I've taken up the task of bringing in the SMRTAnalysis suite and its dependencies as a set of official Debian packages. pbcore has already been included into Debian [1]. pbh5tools is next in that dependency chain [2]. I've also been working on bringing in Celera Assembler; its own dependency kmer has been packaged and is awaiting processing by the Debian ftpmasters [3]. Besides just notifying you of the effort, I'd like to note that it will be difficult to include into Debian new Python packages that do not support Python 3 [4-5]. For pbcore, I have made the transition myself[6] with the intent to forward the patches. Since this will be an issue with the other Python packages comprising SMRTAnalysis, I would like to see if we can cooperate to support Python3. I can help with the first step of the transition, but would you be willing to maintain compatibility with both Python2 and Python3 versions? Thank you very much for providing SMRTAnalysis as unrestricted software. I am personally a regular user of this software.
