Source Package has no Configure Script

[ttbek]

The .tar.gz from release 2.2.6 (available here: https://github.com/gmarcais/Jellyfish/releases) has no configure script to run via the instructions (./configure).

Download the file jellyfish-2.2.6.tar.gz, not Source Code. The first one has the configure script. The second one is generated by github automatically, and is incomplete. I wish I could hide this link, but I can't (AKAIK)

Ah, yeah, that is a quandary. Even with the warning the implication is that the first package is a binary because the later the source (thanks for clarifying though, it definitely helps).

Please do not hide it, others want to fetch the real sources.

However, in release the tar.gz file unpacks now into Jellyfish-2.2.6 instead of jellyfish-2.2.6. Would you please revert to the old behavior (with all-lowercase letters)? Thank you.

Those lacking configure can run:

autoreconf inside the directory.

The release tar ball jellyfish-2.2.6.tar.gz generated by automake still unpacks to the lowercase jellyfish-2.6. I have not change anything and I checked it.

As for the automatically generated tar ball, I have no control over it. I did not change any configuration. If something changed with those files, it is github's doing.

OK, then it comes from the project directory, seen in URL: https://github.com/gmarcais/Jellyfish

I am using version1 of jellyfish, which does not contain any file with jellyfish-x.y.z.tar.gz tag, but only source code in zip and tar.gz format. The source code doesn't contain any configuration file to install and autoconf files. Can anyone suggest me any alternative. PS - I need version1 for my another bioinformatics software to run.

Thanks in advance
