System: NetBSD trillium.nmsu.edu 1.3.2 NetBSD 1.3.2 (TRILLIUM) #0: Tue Dec 1 16:12:07 MST 1998 root@aster.nmsu.edu:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/TRILLIUM i386


>Description:
	
	many software packages are available for computational biology/bioinformatics/etc.
	none are in our packages system
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	
	a preliminary package for several biology programs to add to the
	package system is available at:

	ftp://evolution.nmsu.edu/pub/biology.tar.gz

	it should be possible to simply untar it into an existing pkgsrc
	distribution, add the biology subdir to the root Makefile,
	and go.  there may be a few small changes to do (like adding
	CVS tags or whatever), but otherwise these packages should all
	work.  i've compiled them all on 1.3.2/i386.

	note that this creates a new category for packages:  biology
