Just to add one data point: What we chose to do in our installation to make upgrades easy was to utilize Mercurial's queue (mq) functionality to keep our local deltas as overlay "patches" atop galaxy-dist. Now when we want to upgrade to galaxy-dist's tip we just need to: $ hg qpop --all # undoes all of our custom changes $ hg pull -u # pulls all changes from galaxy-dist and applies them $ hg qpush --all # reapplies all our changes one by one If during that re-apply mercurial can't figure out how the old change applies to the new galaxy the merge tool is popped up and one graphically selects A or B for each differing chunk. Here are some intro resources on mq: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5037120727513519915&hl=en# http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/managing-change-with-mercurial-queues.html And if you're new to mercurial entirely this great new intro site just launched: http://hginit.com/ Meanwhile, might anyone have any insight as to why we can't get histogram's working? --> http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2010-March/002199.html Thanks, On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 01:40:04PM +0000, Chris Cole wrote:
universe_wsgi.ini would also have to be there. I have lots of specific SGE settings for many tools in there.
In terms of getting them working, my suggestion would be to have the 'local' tools grouped under subheadings as defined in each of the XML files.
This way you'd have the common Galaxy tools on the website followed by each of your own groups of tools under different subheadings. Cheers,
