KiNG for Debian
---------------

The default build target includes building a source tarball including
Java docs for the API.  This is currently not builded.  Feel free to
uncomment the according paragraph in debian/control and add the patch
delete_mac_specific_file.patch to the debian/patches/series file in
case you consider this a useful extension for this package.

Upstream provides a ZIP file full of prebuilded binary files (in parts
without source.  So this archive was heavily stripped using the script
debian/get-orig-source.

The source tarball contains some binarie files and the handling of these
is described in a mail from upstream which can be read here:

  Subject: Re: What are ndft files and how to edit these

  Hi Andreas,

  The ndft files are N-dimensional scalar fields in binary format,
  representing the statistical density of various side-chain conformations.
  See http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/databases/rotamer.php, especially the
  Son Of download and its README file (
  http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/databases/READMEforTop500angleData.html).
  The binary format is straightforward but made up, you'd have to read the
  code in that download to reverse engineer the format, I don't remember it
  any more  :)  I think I called that package Silk, the one that contains the
  reader/writer code.

  The files are used by tools for rebuilding protein structure, to judge how
  (un)favorable a proposed conformation is.  Without them, those tools won't
  work, though other parts of KiNG may (or may not, depends how good my error
  handling code was).
