[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#925499: bowtie2 arm64 (aarch64) package

[Jun Aruga]

Source: bowtie2
Severity: wishlist

Dear bowtie2 maintainer,

As the latest version bowtie2 2.3.5 started to support arm64 (aarch64) as a
experiment.
Is it possible for you to prepare bowtie2 arm64 (aarch64) deb pacakge?

Here is my contribution to support it on the bowtie2 upstream project.
https://github.com/BenLangmead/bowtie2/pull/216
You can refer how to build it by seeing Makefile.

We need a patch to the source code.
See 4 sed commands in the bottom part of Dockerfile-aarch64.

Thank you.
