Hi Andreas,

I just pushed my latest set of commits. Packages do build now with (at
least) the following issues left:

- usr/share/doc is still missing
- Missing manpages (lintian warnings ...). Is this release critical?
- d/copyright created with /usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5 has a number
  of FIXMEs. What to do about them?
- The build process in rules/override_dh_auto_build is not particularly
  nice. It works, but I will eventually split the separate builds more
  appropriately. Don't know, whether I will get around to do this before
  the freeze. But I don't think, it should be a show-stopper. The
  separate builds are necessary to avoid pulling in unneeded
  dependencies by dh_shlibdeps for the different bin packages.
- No testing done yet ... Will do asap and will tag for release then.
- Contact upstream (see below)
- If you want, you can try a test build with debuild.

I will contact upstream asap, asking what to do about the download
page and suggesting to create a usable git repo. I've also subscribed to
their mailing list to stay on top of things.

    Andreas>    https://github.com/jjcorreao/relion

This seems to be an unofficial repo (not supported by the MRC LMB
group). The README says "Run RELION at [NERSC] (NERSC is a US National
Lab)", so it seems to have nothing to do with upstream.

See above.

Best,
