Hi Peter,
The cargo port is the ideal place for this, however it does not support manual uploads of files.
Thanks Eric,
You mean https://github.com/galaxyproject/cargo-port
Is that something which might be addressed in future? The use case is when a previously public file stops working (either temporarily or permanently), so you can't use the official URL to make the cached copy?
Would it be OK to use a short lived URL like a personal dropbox URL, and then once cached, update urls.tsv with the original official (but broken) URL?
Yes this is totally fine. We just need to have a way to verify and check tarballs before upload and we thought github and PR are a nice fit for this.
Thanks, Bjoern
Let's try this then: https://github.com/galaxyproject/cargo-port/pull/82 (I can't find the Mac binaries for MIRA 4.9.5, hopefully I might have that on my home machine but it's a long shot.) Peter
