On monday 04/04, @bgruening and some members of Galaxy team (me and @nitesh1989 at least) would want to get a Hackathon on adding IUC / Devteam tools Conda dependencies.

Hackathon begins at: 2pm (UTC-4) / 8pm (UTC+2).

It will be as following:

•  @bgruening will give a small introduction how to create a recipe and the scripts involved in it]
•  Introduce everyone to conda and bioconda
•  Then we pick a simple tool and create it
•  @bgruening will provide a list with bugs that needs to be fixed on the framework level

Aims:

• get familiar with conda packaging the conda-Galaxy integration
• remove tools from the testing blacklists: 1 2 3
• Integrate Travis-conda testing in GalaxyP
• Integrate Travis-conda testing in galaxy_blast (@peterjc?)

Infrastructure work:

• galaxyproject/galaxy#2047
• condarc is update if you add new channels, but you can not remove channels
• conda is not working in the Galaxy Docker image
• bioconda needs to archive all tarballs to depot.galaxyproject.org
• Galaxy Admin support to remove environments

Let us know if you are interested :).

Regards,
Bjorn, Remi and the Galaxy Team
