[Biopython] Fwd: Biopython package for Fedora/RedHat

[Peter]

Hi all,

I'd like to thank Alex Lancaster for updating the Fedora packages
for Biopython 1.51 (including a patch for the flex issue, Bug 2619).
http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2619

Those of you involved in testing Fedora packages, please give
this a go -  positive feedback will get this into stable F-10 and
F-11 sooner (as Alex explains below).

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

I updated the Biopython wiki to point to that page.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/community/?package=python-biopython#package_maintenance/package_overview
[...]

OK, updates in CVS done:

* Tue Aug 18 2009 Alex Lancaster <alexlan[AT]fedoraproject org> -
 1.51-1
- Update to upstream 1.51
- Drop mx {Build}Requires, no longer used upstream
- Remove Martel modules, no longer distributed upstream
- Add flex to BuildRequires, patch setup to build
 Bio.PDB.mmCIF.MMCIFlex as per upstream:
 http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2619

I have done builds for rawhide (although probably won't be included
for a while as rawhide is frozen while a Beta for F-12 is being
tested), and there are pending updates for F-10 and F-11 which will be
pushed to updates-testing soon (you can add comments to the updates
without being a Fedora developer):

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-biopython-1.51-1.fc10
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-biopython-1.51-1.fc11

Once in updates-testing for a while and we get some feedback
(i.e. "karma" votes), then I will push them to stable for F-10 and F-11.

Feel free to forward this information to the mailing list (I am
subscribed, but I read the list via GMANE to cut down on volume, so I
don't always get time to read the list).
