From ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Sat Jul 15 18:29:57 2000 From: ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk) Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 23:29:57 +0100 (BST) Subject: EMBOSS has moved to HGMP Message-ID: <200007152229.XAA19256@bromine.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk> Dear EMBOSS folk, Yes, EMBOSS has indeed moved. Please note the new address for the web pages. It is: http://www.uk.embnet.org/Software/EMBOSS or if you prefer http://www.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/Software/EMBOSS they are the same address. Similarly the ftp server becomes: ftp://ftp.uk.embnet.org/pub/EMBOSS or ftp://ftp.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/pub/EMBOSS Why the move? It is because Peter Rice and Ian Longden have both just gone into the commercial sector. Peter has gone to Lion and Ian to Informatica. This left noone at Sanger with the experience to maintain EMBOSS therefore it finds a welcome home with the HGMP developers. I surely speak for all of us when I thank Peter and Ian for their work... although Peter will still be active with EMBOSS from the Lion point of view so this is neither an obituary or E.J. Thribb poem. Both still have their Sanger usernames intact for now. And so on to the changes. You will notice a different look and feel to the web pages. This is in preparation for the imminent announcement of Release 1.0.0. You will see this reflected in the filename of EMBOSS on the ftp server. It is EMBOSS-1.0.0.tar.gz N.B: As of this distribution there is an extra 'emboss' directory level at the top. This is to allow the --prefix configuration option to (optionally) install directories there. The instructions for use of the CVS server have also changed. Please read the new instructions on the web pages if you use this method. This server also has the extra directory mentioned above. Also note that there is no alias for cvs.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk at the moment i.e. cvs.uk.embnet.org will not work but the former will. The mail list addresses have changed accordingly. They are: emboss at uk.embnet.org emboss-dev at uk.embnet.org or emboss at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk emboss-dev at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk All the subscription addresses have been moved over. The majordomo server at our site works in the same way as on the Sanger site. N.B.: Until the Sanger site change their links to redirect to HGMP their site is still active. It is not being updated though. To get the latest updates you must use the new addresses. I am bound to have forgotten something as we've all had to work like demons to move things over and get to a stage where we can advertise release 1.0.0. I will post if anything important springs to mind. Finally, it is St Swithins Day so, if the new service works today it will probably work for the next 40. If not you can always email: emboss-bug at uk.embnet.org or emboss-bug at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Cheers Alan HGMP From ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Sat Jul 15 22:29:57 2000 From: ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk) Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 23:29:57 +0100 (BST) Subject: EMBOSS has moved to HGMP Message-ID: <200007152229.XAA19256@bromine.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk> Dear EMBOSS folk, Yes, EMBOSS has indeed moved.
