Hi all,
I've written a script to help deal with the problem of maintaining toolshed tools across multiple toolsheds (eg test and release)
The problem I encountered was that switching between test and production versions of a suite of tools can be quite painful because every repository definition like this
<repository toolshed="http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu" name="proteomics_datatypes" owner="iracooke" changeset_revision="463328a6967f"/>
needs to be updated to a different toolshed url and (by extension) a different changeset revision.
The idea with this script is that you should be able to point it at a directory containing a toolshed repository and it will create a copy of that repository in which the toolshed urls (and changeset revisions) have been updated to correct values for a different toolshed.
I'm not sure how others are dealing with this issue (perhaps there is another easier way) .. but I've found this helped me alot so I thought I'd share
