Hello Tim!
Wow thank you, this is great news! Let me know if there is anything with the build, but I may not be able to respond for a while, because I will
be on vacation for two weeks from Monday.
pp-popularity-contest is different, the Debian popularity contest does not really replace it. It counts the number of predictions made by each
of the tools. It would be really nice if you could install it along PredictProtein.
But if you decide not to, then make sure there is an executable called 'pp_popcon_cnt' on the path, or our various tools will print warning
messages about the missing pp-popularity-contest. The executable does not need to do anything, it just has to be callable. That silences the
warning.
Best regards,
Laszlo
