GitHub repository metadata records the public repository creation in May 2011. ### Adoption history The project is modest but durable: GitHub releases include an initial tagged release in 2015, a Debian-packaging point release in 2019, and later maintenance releases through 2023. The Homebrew input records packaging in Homebrew and maps related distro packages to tabix on Debian, Ubuntu, and openSUSE. ### How it is used The README emphasizes building with the htslib submodule and testing with make. Its value is in C++ code that wants a smaller abstraction over tabix-indexed files rather than invoking tabix directly. ### Why package nerds care Package maintainers care because tabixpp is a thin compatibility layer in bioinformatics dependency graphs: it pulls in htslib-style native dependencies such as libcurl, zlib, and liblzma, and it is often packaged to satisfy genomics tools that expect the wrapper. ### Timeline - 2011: The public GitHub repository was created. - 2015: GitHub releases show v1.0.0 as the initial tagged release. - 2019: GitHub releases show v1.1.0 as a point release for Debian packaging. - 2023: GitHub releases show v1.1.2 published as minor updates. ### Related projects - The README links tabix, htslib, libcurl, zlib, and liblzma as related projects or dependencies. ### Sources - - - - input.source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** tabixpp - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 1 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - tabix - 1.21+ds-1: installed executable or alias match | Debian stable package indexes: tabix from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | generic indexer for TAB-delimited genome position files | https://github.com/samtools/htslib - Ubuntu apt - tabix - 1.19+ds-1.1build3: installed executable or alias match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: tabix from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | generic indexer for TAB-delimited genome position files | https://github.com/samtools/htslib - zypper - tabix - 1.21-1.3: installed executable or alias match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: tabix from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Generic indexer for TAB-delimited genome position files from the HTSlib project | https://github.com/samtools/htslib/ ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Scientific computing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/scientific-computing-tools/) - Matched scientific computing metadata. - [htslib](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/htslib/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [xz](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/xz/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [freebayes](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/freebayes/) - Popular package that depends on this formula. - [abricate](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/abricate/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [gffread](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gffread/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [minigraph](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/minigraph/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [stringtie](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/stringtie/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [vcfanno](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/vcfanno/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [vcflib](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/vcflib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [vcftools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/vcftools/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [bbtools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bbtools/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
