[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#609038: ITP: biomaj -- a biological databank update and processing tool

[Olivier Sallou]

Hi,
I fixed all issues except java dependencies. I am looking at this. I 
still need to integrate some of them due to minimum version requirements 
not filled in current debian release.

Regarding:

  - You can annotate the purpose of debian/patches/debian-changes-1.1.0-1
    following the guidelines of the Debian Enhancement Proposal number 3
    (http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3).

Which file should I modify? the changes file itself?

Once java libs issue fixed, I will update svn to upload debian struct.

Thanks

Olivier
