Re: [galaxy-dev] Deploying LOC files for tool built-in data during a tool installation

I look forward to some more details from Dan on *.loc file setup.

Hi Peter, Dan and all, What a timely discussion! I am just in the process of setting up loc files for some new indexes I have created (bowtie2, etc), and would really like to see this automated. I see there is a Galaxy script scripts/loc_files/create_all_fasta_loc.py, which is quite sophisticated, and does this job nicely for all_fasta.loc. I'm feeling an urge to somehow extend this script to cope with other datatypes besides fasta, but am wondering if this will be wasted effort if there will soon be a better way to handle this. Can Dan or anyone else comment on this? cheers, Simon
