[Bioperl-l] Package status for 1.5.2

[Chris Fields]

Past releases of bioperl-run used to coincide with core, if I  
remember correctly.  For the last release, I think Jason set up tar- 
balls for all of them at roughly the same time; I'm sure there were  
bugs present in them at the time.

If there are any bugs (tests that don't pass) they should probably be  
submitted to bugzilla, unless you can fix them.  The ones in hmmer  
may arise from recent changes in SearchIO.
