[pkg-bioc] checking out scripts

[Faheem Mitha]

Hi,

I had some correspondence with this list in July. I think Dirk created an 
account for me, but then I did not do anything after that.

I tried to use the Debian Bioconductor packages from

deb http://public.pzr.uni-rostock.de/~moeller/mirror/ ./

on a AMD64 machine. Even though it appears these packages are built 
for i386, apt happily installed them.

I think there is some configuration necessary so that apt knows the 
packages do not work for amd64.

I think I'll take a shot at compiling these packages for AMD64. Would 
there be any interest in putting these packages in your repository?


I had some difficulty checking out from cvs under my registered name. I 
tried

faheem at theda:/usr/local/src/bioc$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
faheem at theda:/usr/local/src/bioc$ cvs -z3 
-d:ext:faheem-guest at cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/pkg-bioc co tools

It asks for my alioth password, which I know is valid because I used it to 
log into alioth. However, I can't use to to get in here. Am I doing 
something wrong?

I was able to check out as anonymous. however, Dirk wrote to me on 26th 
July

"You need to register with alioth (and get set up with this project) to 
check out the build script."

As I missing something?

I note packages corresponding to

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/data/annotation/stable/src/contrib/html/

are not in the package repository. Is there some reason these have not 
been packaged?
