I just realised that Biom-format has moved to a different location and
thus we missed the new version.  When inspecting this I realised that it
is not using Cython any more - so the problem will be fixed with the new
version automatically (Yaroslav, sorry for keeping you busy for no use
:-().

I have updated the packaging at

   svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/python-biom-format/trunk/

and have the following questions (specifically also to Tim):

  1. Did you forwarded this patch to upstream?

     http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/python-biom-format/trunk/debian/patches/smart_arse_fix.patch?view=markup

     I think upstream would be interested in incorporating it.

  2. Tim, your latest changelog says: "Rename add_metadata to something
     less generic.  It will die in the next release anyway."  Since the
     script did not died in 1.3.1 I wonder what "next release you might
     mean.

  3. Will the packaging which I prepared in SVN work together with the
     latest qiime package?  This question is probably important before
     I'll upload it to unstable.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
