[Bioperl-l] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Alpha 1.6 releases of BioPerl-run, BioPerl-db, BioPerl-network

[Chris Fields]

All,

I would like to announce that the first alpha releases for BioPerl- 
run, BioPerl-db, and BioPerl-network are available.  These are  
designated as 1.005009_001, with a requirement for BioPerl 1.6 and  
higher (1.006000).

TODO:

1) All subdistributions need updates to the Changes, BUGS, AUTHORS,  
etc files.  Please make updates as needed to the main trunk (I'll  
merge them over to the relevant branch).
2) BioPerl-run TCoffee tests are failing for me, but it appears to be  
an issue with the executable (I get a bus error).  Is this  
reproducible for others?

I believe BioPerl-db (if configured correctly) and BioPerl-network  
should pass tests w/o problems.  However, I would like to gather as  
many test results as possible from BioPerl users prior to a final  
release on CPAN, particularly with BioPerl-run (I would like to make  
sure that tests for wrappers are bypassed if the executable isn't  
present or an environment variable isn't set).
