[Bioperl-l] RE: [Bioperl-guts-l] [Bug 1509] Two tutorial problems: missing datafile and incorrect example

Jim,

/usr/local/bioperl/data?

That's possible, yes. I only speak for myself but I'd say that it comes down
to "cost/benefit". I tend to see the documentation in bptutorial as the most
important thing, as opposed to the running of the example scripts. This is
not the result of any study of the issue you understand, just my guess. I
think that the most important thing for the novice is to actually write
code, running the examples is interesting but not enlightening. Now, if you
don't agree and would like to do this yourself, well, that's fine too!

;-)

I just corrected #2.

Thank you,

Brian O.

Thanks Brian, for the quick fix on #1.

But while dying more gracefully is an improvement, the novice is still going
to be hitting a roadblock. How about putting the data in a known production
area, say /usr/local/bioperl/data?

Did #2 (the incorrect example) get fixed as well?
