snap for Debian
---------------
Renaming of main executable
===========================
Due to a name conflict with /usr/bin/snap from snapd tool to interact with
Ubuntu Core Snappy the main executable needs to be renamed. This snap
package now provides the binary
/usr/bin/snap-hmm
To remain compatible with local user scripts using the name snap the old
name of the executable is provided under the PATH
/usr/lib/debian-med/bin/snap
So if you want to use snap with its original name just do the following:
Set the PATH variable like
export PATH=/usr/lib/debian-med/bin:$PATH
The PATH can be set very easily by making use of the feature of the
med-config package of the Debian Med Blend. Once med-config is
installed for Bash users who create a file ${HOME}/.blends containing
the string "debian-med" the PATH is automatically extended and thus
users who consider themselves Debian Med users have access to the
originally named executables.
Dropped Perl scripts
====================
The Perl scripts cds-trainer.pl and noncoding-trainer.pl are needing the
following Perl modules:
IK.pm, FAlite.pm, DataBrowser.pm
A web search leads to
https://github.com/KorfLab/LearnGit
which is a bit mysterious because it is a "Git learning" project and no
serious bio informatics Perl module. Since this all seems a bit strange
it was decided to drop the two Perl scripts with unavailable Perl
modules and the user who might really need these is asked to provide
more detailed information.
