Debian Tests Data
=================

The autopkgtest for bitseq was updated to use pregenerated test
data instead of dynamically running bowtie.

This is necessary because bowtie is not available on 32-bit
architectures (such as i386, armel, armhf). With this change,
the test is skipped on those architectures and runs normally
elsewhere.

The dataset is shipped via the 'debian-tests-data' component
tarball. It contains Bowtie index files and a SAM alignment file
required to test bitseq.

To regenerate the dataset manually on a 64-bit machine:

    bowtie-build -f Ref.fasta index
    bowtie -q -v 3 --all -m 100 --sam index Reads.fastq -S out.sam

Make sure bowtie is installed and available in your PATH.
