[Bioperl-l] StandAloneBlast & BLAST+

[Matthew Laird]

Thanks, good to know.  Is there an estimate when it might be stable in 
the tarball for bioperl-run?

I can handle grabbing it from git, however the root of my question is 
making PSORTb work with BLAST+ out of the box, I've already had one 
request.  And not everyone who tries to install our software is as 
computationally inclined...

Thanks for the work guys, we couldn't do it without Bioperl at the core.
