That will be a pain since so many tools can use multiple cores, and if I edit tool XML file, what will happen is I update Galaxy? Will those edited XML be replaced by the files in Galaxy-dist?
If you modify a tool bundled with Galaxy, then when you do an hg update in simple cases it would all be handled automatically. However, if there was a change in the same part of the code, you would have to do a manual merge (the simplest route is just take the 'official' changes from the Galaxy team, and in the short term discard your local change). i.e. Not a good idea for long term maintenance. The other thread I was referring to was discussing how to move the thread settings into the Galaxy configuration files instead. Peter
