One of the tools necessary to convert genome assemblies between consed and gap4 are caftools. It is nicely summarized here: http://envgen.nox.ac.uk/envgen/software/archives/000581.html http://sarton.imb-jena.de/software/consed2gap/
No comments have been made on this bug report for some time. Is anyone still interested in integration of this package? If yes, please indicate that here in this bug report. Otherwise we'll resolve the bug in the near future, since sci(-*) has an extremely large number of pending package requests and we would like to focus...
Committed the new ebuild.

The 2.0.2 archive lacks manpages compared to 2.0. 4. The man/Makefile.in is screwed in 2.0.2 so we cannot use it to install the manpage files, not even copying over whole caftools-2.0/man/ to caftools-2.0.2/man does not help. One needs to do it "manually".
