Hi Greg,

Fantastic, thanks for your detailed answer!

I am trying out some things and I noticed that it is not possible to select a specific revision of a repository for installation (see screenshot). I thought I saw you present something like this at Oslo...is that possible ?

Regards,

Pieter.

Hello Pieter,

Please send questions like this to the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu or galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu mailing list rather than individual email addresses to ensure optimal, timely responses.

The Tool Shed wiki contains all of the information you need:

http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Tool%20Shed

This page provides a nice overview of repository features:

See additional specific pages below for each item you've listed:

Hi Greg,

I want to make a toolshed package with the following contents:

The above "package" is actually a mercurial repository in the tool shed.

· A number of tools

The following pages will provide all of the information you'll need for building Galaxy tools for the Tool Shed.

http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/ToolShedToolFeatures

· Some workflows

The following pages provide information for enabling workflow sharing via the Tool Shed.

http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/ToolShedWorkflowSharing

· Datatypes

Datatype features in the Tool Shed are described in the following pages:

http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/ToolShedDatatypesFeatures

· Installation configurations for installing external tools like R, Gnuplot and X!Tandem

The above information is document in the "ToolShedToolFeatures" section of the wiki, specifically in the following pages:

http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/ToolShedToolFeatures#Automatic_third-party_tool_dependency_installation_and_compilation_with_installed_repositories

· Dependencies configurations to other packages

If by "packages", you are referring to other tool shed repositories, then the documentation describing defining these relationships is located in the following pages:

http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/DefiningRepositoryDependencies

Is there a HOWTO wiki page where I can find exactly which files I should add to the .zip file and how they should be named? Or maybe an example package which I could use?
