Ubuntu
minimap2 package

Include paftools.js?

Asked by Nicholas Youngblut

Some software, such as https://github.com/mritchielab/FLAMES, requires paftools.js (in addition to minimap2) for converting annotation to bed12 files. It appears that paftools.js is not packaged with minimap2:

```
$ dpkg -L minimap2
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/minimap2
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/minimap2
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/copyright
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/minimap2.pdf
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/run-unit-test
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/test
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/test/MT-human.fa.gz
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/test/MT-orang.fa.gz
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/test/q-inv.fa.gz
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/test/q2.fa
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/test/t-inv.fa.gz
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/test/t2.fa
/usr/share/doc/minimap2/test_script
/usr/share/doc-base
/usr/share/doc-base/minimap2.minimap2
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/minimap2.1.gz
```

It would be helpful if paftools.js were installed along with the minimap2 executable.

I'm curious why there is no "feature request" option in this forum: just "Report a bug" and "Ask a question".

I will go ahead and report this feature request as a "bug".

Can you help with this problem?
