Well, my packaging experience is zero. My Linux experience is considerable, but I'm not programmer. As a biologist, I'd like to see some packages included. From the original list namely ugene. And some more, of course. I wonder if I'd be able (by means of skills and time/effort required) to package software I need for my work (some is not very well written). Well, now I just compile what I need. So... If we consider software with simple (or no) dependences, I use to follow steps in README - (./congifue), make, (make install); is packaging in OBS significantly more difficult...? -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/
