[Bioperl-l] PPM for bioperl-1.5?

[Nathan Haigh]

I created the ppd from the 1.5 release and then manually added as many
dependencies from bioperl as I could find to make things as simple and
complete as possible for those who wish to install via PPM. As a result it
should be a pretty self contained download for bioperl 1.5 but if you are
missing many of the dependencies it could take a while to download them all!

I have used that particular ppd to install bioperl 1.5 on a clean system and
as far as I remember it installs most thing if you have the repositories
added to PPM that are mentioned in the INSTALL.WIN file:
http://bioperl.org/Core/Latest/INSTALL.WIN

A point of interest when using PPM:
Try not to use PPM to do something like "upgrade <package>", inconsistencies
in PPM and peoples naming of ppd files can result in an old version of a
package being installed. Therefore always use: "search <package>" and
"install <number>" in order to obtain the correct version of a package.

Let me know if you have any problems.
Nathan

Also, not to complicate things, but are Lincoln's bioperl-1.5 PPM (at 
http://www.gmod.org/ggb/ppm/) and Nathan's version (at 
<http://web.ukonline.co.uk/nathanhaigh/bioperl/bioperl.ppd>http://web.ukonli
ne.co.uk/nathanhaigh/bioperl/bioperl.ppd) 

essentially the same?  I noticed that Nathan's has a bunch of dependencies 
but Lincoln's doesn't.
