Re: [galaxy-dev] Galaxy Release Cycle Length
by Leon Mei 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi Dave, I am one of the requesters on a less frequent release. Certainly this does not need to replace the current release scheme in the development branch: Galaxy system users who prefer keeping their code up to date can still go there. It is just nice to have a separate branch with a less frequent stable release cycle with the support of fixing major bugs as Hans-Rudolf pointed out. This fixing support is only needed on the latest stable release. Regarding the frequency of such a release, I would say it is a bit dependent on the speed of introducing new major features in Galaxy. I wouldn't mind to have a 4 or 6 month release cycle in the stable branch if they synchronize better with the major milestones in Galaxy.

Much more important than the release cycle length is fixing identified bugs on the release branch as well.

Galaxy Release Cycle Length
by Dave Clements 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hello all, At one of the GCC2013 Birds of a Feather sessions<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/BoF/PublicGalaxyServers> the group was very clear that they would like to see less frequent releases of Galaxy. We're currently aiming to do a release every 2 months and have been pretty successful at making that target. In the past, we have tried doing releases more often and less often. Is there a sweet spot for the time between releases? Please reply to the group. We are interested in a discussion. Thanks, Dave C -- http://galaxyproject.org/GCC2013 http://galaxyproject.org/ http://getgalaxy.org/ http://usegalaxy.org/ http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/

error installing dependency for tool shed repository.
by Curt Palm 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

I've just created a repository in the sandbox and have been trying to test the installation of a dependency my tool needs. The tool needs the python module "requests" and I've written code. I get an error: STDERR python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory I've modeled my code on examples I've found in the tool shed. I've replaced the requests module with other python modules and these are installed ok. I can also download and manually install requests with "python setup.py install" Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong? tool_dependencies.xml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <tool_dependency> <package name="requests" version="1.2.3"> <install version="1.0"> <actions> <action type="download_by_url">http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/requests/requests-1.2.3.tar.gz</action> <action type="make_directory">$INSTALL_DIR/lib/python</action> <action type="make_directory">$INSTALL_DIR/bin</action> <action type="set_environment"> <environment_variable name="PYTHONPATH" action="append_to">$INSTALL_DIR/lib/python</environment_variable> <environment_variable name="PATH" action="prepend_to">$INSTALL_DIR/bin</environment_variable> </action> <action type="shell_command">python setup.py install --home $INSTALL_DIR --install-scripts $INSTALL_DIR/bin</action> </actions> </install> <readme> </readme> </package> </tool_dependency> ingTest.xml: <tool id="ingTest" name="ingTest" version="1.0"> <description>Testing Tool Shed</description> <requirements> <requirement type="package" version="1.2.3">requests</requirement> </requirements> <command interpreter="python"> </command> <inputs> </inputs> <outputs> </outputs> <help> .. class:: infomark </help> </tool> Thanks, -Curt Curt Palm Data Engineer ________________________________________ INGENUITY SYSTEMS | www.ingenuity.com 1700 Seaport Blvd., 3rd Floor | Redwood City, CA 94063 650.381.5084

Bismark issue
by Shane Sturrock 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

I've had a bit of a time trying to get Bismark working on our Galaxy instance. The install doesn't work because of the dependency on samtools 0.1.18 but in fact it requires samtools 0.1.19. I have a build of that installed as standard on our system so putting a symlink to that in the place of the samtools built for the bismark wrapper makes it work - I was seeing issues where the BAM file wasn't created and noticed in Bjoern's readme.rst that said it required samtools 0.1.19 or later.

Action type 'template_command' on galaxy-dist?
by Peter Cock 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi all, I'm currently trying out installation of tools from the Tool Shed on a secondary Galaxy server (not our production server nor my development setup). This is running galaxy-dist, current latest stable I believe: $ sudo -u galaxy hg heads changeset: 10201:ebe87051fadf tag: tip parent: 10199:8bf64d933704 user: Dannon Baker <dannonbaker(a)me.com> date: Tue Jul 02 10:48:31 2013 -0400 summary: Fix two more downgrade invocations to accept the migrate_engine parameter changeset: 10200:fd4113962c32 branch: stable parent: 10198:0a06df7da177 user: Dannon Baker <dannonbaker(a)me.com> date: Tue Jul 02 10:48:31 2013 -0400 summary: Fix two more downgrade invocations to accept the migrate_engine parameter I'm having some problems, e.g. Tool shed repository 'package_numpy_1_7' tool dependencies Name Version Type Status Error atlas 3.10.1 package Error Error installing tool dependency atlas version 3.10.1: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/opt/galaxy-dist-shed-tools/atlas/3.10.1/iuc/package_atlas_3_10/597c0e54eded/env.sh' lapack 3.4.2 package Error Error installing tool dependency lapack version 3.4.2: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/opt/galaxy-dist-shed-tools/lapack/3.4.2/iuc/package_lapack_3_4/98a7d116c15f/env.sh' numpy 1.7.1 package Error Error installing tool dependency numpy version 1.7.1: Unsupported action type 'template_command' in tool dependency definition. Is this due to to galaxy-dist being too old for Tool Shed tools whose XML installation scripts use action template_command? e.g. http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/package_numpy_1_7/c75482be1d3a One way to catch this kind of error would be if the nightly Tool Shed tests included attempting to install package repositories (e.g. the new "Tool dependency definition") explicitly. (I think I've suggested this before - but it is worth reiterating) Thanks, Peter

Embedding a help text in a Workflow?
by Peter Cock 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hello all, I've recently started sharing some sample workflows on the Galaxy Tool Shed, http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/rxlr_venn_workflow http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/secreted_protein_workflow When writing a Galaxy tool we have a lot of flexibility within the <help> tag to describe the tool, its output, and relevant references using some nice markup language for things like bold fonts and tables. I would very much like something similar for embedding README or help text into a workflow - which again should be shown to the user, both on the 'View workflow action' but also under the "Run workflow" / "Execute" button when actually running a workflow. Am I overlooking something or is the only workflow level description the plain text 'Annotation / Notes' field? Thanks, Peter P.S. I'm not talking about the repository level README text which I can use for a workflow repository - that is only really seen by the Galaxy administrator (not by the users within the Galaxy web-interface) and is not specific to each workflow.

Workflow import is not working, KeyError: 'header_lines'

Hi Dannon, I'm seeing a problem which seems very similar to the one Bjoern had back in June with the same workflow (which appeared to have been fixed according to the old IUC thread "Workflow import is not working"). This server is running the current galaxy-dist release, $ sudo -u galaxy hg head changeset: 10411:c42567f43aa7 tag: tip user: greg date: Mon Aug 19 13:19:56 2013 -0400 summary: Filter invalid objects when generating the list of repository_dependencies objects that are associated with a tool shed repository installed into Galaxy. changeset: 10408:6822f41bc9bb branch: stable parent: 10393:d05bf67aefa6 user: Dave Bouvier <dave(a)bx.psu.edu> date: Mon Aug 19 13:06:17 2013 -0400 summary: Fix for case where running functional tests might overwrite certain files in database/files.
