That is why Steffen suggests waiting until the sprint, where there will be some face-time for him to help us. If this needs to be done sooner, then my response is c) please follow your symlink-suggestion if you have time. We can test at the sprint, and you can help us fix is needed. Jalview is not a vital component of Ensembl, and the package is experimental after all.

Yes, assuming the package is in experimental for a reason it should not
be a drastical problem if it might show some issues.  Because I further
assume it's not fun experimenting with an old version I would decide to
upgrade the package to the latest version and do the symlinks in this.
We then could make some noise about a new version and hoping for testers
*before* the sprint.  This could ensure that we can finally fix the
problems in the sprint.  IMHO this gives us some extra time.

Just stop me from doing so if you consider this a bad idea.

No problem.  Feel free to ask next time in case something might be
unclear.

Thanks for the clarification.  I might come back in case of trouble with
the new version.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
