[Bioc-devel] Package Home Pages

[James W. MacDonald]

Actually, the blosxom software that I use for the changelog thinks that 
things like aroma.light are 'flavours' which control the look and feel 
of the site. Since I haven't instituted such a flavour it errors out on 
Henrik's package.

Since the xxx.yyy paradigm is central to how the output of bloxsom is 
controlled, and aroma.light is the only package that has a period in its 
name, I have never taken the time to delve deeper into the bloxsom code 
to fix this one infelicity. And I am not sure I could if I did.

Best,

Jim
