Well, the aceptance time can be qualifies as "undetermined".  I just had
some packages with fast-processing.  So the good thing is that it ended
up in unstable finally.  I guess the only way to change this is to
volunteer doing ftpmaster work ...

Cool!

He is currently visiting our group at Sanger, and he happily agreed to take care of removing the annoying license issue for the SILVA derived HMMs. Also see https://github.com/tseemann/barrnap/issues/13. I’d say that’s good news!

Definitely.  Its also a good sign that we have some influence on
upstream (I wished this would happen even more often).

OK.

Have a nice dinner

     Andreas.

PS: I wonder whether Jorge is working on fastaq which is lagging
    behind upstream a lot.
