bioperl

Hi all,
I would like to request that bioperl be added to the package list.
The sources can be found at

http://www.bioperl.org/Core/Latest/index.shtml

The install doc is here
http://bioperl.org/Core/Latest/INSTALL
Based on the install docs I am not sure if its worth making into a package or not. Could someone experienced in making packages please advise on this.

thanks for your help
Cheers

Re: bioperl

:-)

actually i was working on bioperl (core) and as it's working for about 2 weeks on my machine, i think the testing is over and it is time to make it available to archlinux

:-)

... soon ... in some hours hopefully, i will include it in extra

no, unfortunately not in detail

-run and -ext should be easy to do too, but -db needs a db running i think (what is difficult to make a pkg of - if needed)

-microarray is big, but should work too

you can play around with it ... should be very simmilar to the -core:
