Hi all!
I want to load a R-workspace within a galaxy module (.rdat-file, R-Project) and therefore built the galaxy-.rdat datatype (binary). .rdat-files are gzipped and are only recognized within R if they are still zipped. However, the corresponding .dat-file is an uncompressed version of the original .rdat file as I figured out using a hex-editor. I couldn't find any documentation how to change this behaviour, nor answers to similar Questions in this list.
Would be happy for any answere that points me in the right direction.
Hi Christian, Have a look in the upload tool, tools/data_source/upload.py, which is where the decompression would be occuring. There's a spot where we bypass decompression for certain formats like BAM, and this would need to do the same. Sorry it's a bit of a hack, eventually the goal is to make it more pluggable, but this is the solution for now. --nate
