[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#749367: Bug#749367: htslib: Is a solution available?

[Dejan Latinovic]

Hello,

I should be able to do all testing locally
during next week.

Afif, if you do backport changes to current debian package version,
pleast let me not so I could try it.
If not, I could test latest upstream version.

Regards,
Dejan

Hi Afif,

if you would like, please feel free to backport the fix and upload htslib,
to see if it builds.

If it does not build, how about asking for the removal of samtools on mips and
armhf from testing (not unstable), provided that htslib never built there and
that for that reason we can not reasonably support samtools on these platforms
until the problem is solved upstream.  Once the removal from testing is done,
migration will be possible on the remaining architectures.

PS: also feel free to add yourself as Uploader if you have a long-term interest
for htslib.

Have a nice day,
