Re: [galaxy-dev] Tool shed and datatypes

Excerpts from Jim Johnson's message of 2011-10-21 17:13:02 +0000:

I put the gmap tool suite in the galaxy Tool Shed, let me know if there is more I should do.

Awesome!

I added a requirement tag for the datatypes to the tool-configs:

% grep 'requirement.*datatype' *.xml
gmap_build.xml: <requirement type="datatype">gmapdb</requirement>

Requirement tags for datatypes are an interesting idea, but I'm wondering if this is something we should require? It seems like all this information is implicit -- a tool requires a datatype if it has an input or output parameter that references that type. Is there other information that should go in the requirement tag?
