[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1066334: Aw: Re: Redefinition of _Int (Was: acedb: FTBFS: acein.c:2045:15: error: implicit declaration of function ‘add_history’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration])

Tue Oct 8 09:32:11 BST 2024

I had a look at what happened to AceDB and it seems like it is now hosted on
https://github.com/ncbi/AceView/blob/master/w9/dotter.c
at least the dotter application that is. I find that tool of high (and underrated)
educational and practical value and would not want to miss that.

I will not get around comparing the source trees for an unforseeable future, though.

Best,
Steffen
