Hi Andreas,

thank you for your invitation to work on the beads package in the debian 
git repository.
You guessed right for the beads version 1.1.16 : libodsstream needs to 
be packaged.

In alioth, I already have a guest account:
langella-guest
and my ID is :
olivier.langella at u-psud.fr

I'm also involved in the debichem team where I worked on the tandem-mass 
package with Filippo Rusconi.

I've slowly progressed in debian packaging, I would be proud to maintain 
some package one day ;)

I was wondering if beads could go in the debichem branch ?
All my other softwares are clearly related to mass spectrometry and 
proteomics [1], I think it would make more sense ?

Definitely, I would prefer to directly contribute in debian instead of 
maintaining my own mirror.

Kind regards,
Olivier
