Re: [galaxy-dev] Bypassing Data Managers?

Hi Ray Well, I guess, you can call me 'old-fashioned' ;) we still solely rely on manually editing the '*loc' files. The main reason we do that: Most of our reference data is first prepared (by others) for people using it on the command line, and only in a second step we make it available via Galaxy.
