Hi Greg, I think this would be yours. I've recently upgraded to the development branch, and I'm getting HTTP 404 errors from the new function get_tool_shed_status_for_installed_repository(). What gets logged is this: tool_shed.util.shed_util_common ERROR 2013-10-14 09:44:17,448 Error attempting to get tool shed status for installed repository emboss_datatypes: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/galaxy-dev/galaxy/lib/tool_shed/util/shed_util_common.py", line 1226, in get_tool_shed_status_for_installed_repository encoded_tool_shed_status_dict = common_util.tool_shed_get( app, tool_shed_url, url ) File "/home/galaxy-dev/galaxy/lib/tool_shed/util/common_util.py", line 191, in tool_shed_get response = urlopener.open( uri ) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 397, in open response = meth(req, response) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 510, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 435, in error return self._call_chain(*args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 369, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 518, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found When I enhanced the log output like this: log.exception( "Error attempting to get tool shed status for installed repository %s (%s) (%s): %s" % ( str( repository.name ), str(tool_shed_url), str(url), str( e ) ) ) I saw this in the log: tool_shed.util.shed_util_common ERROR 2013-10-14 09:55:26,584 Error attempting to get tool shed status for installed repository emboss_datatypes (http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu) (http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repository/status_for_installed_repository?name=emboss_datatypes&owner=devteam&changeset_revision=a89163f31369): HTTP Error 404: Not Found It occurs to me that the main toolshed may not be running with this feature enabled yet, and perhaps I should just ignore this error for now? (I'd like to be running the development branch for other features it gives me. Alternatively, I could think about back-porting the features I really need to stable, but that sounds like more work than I have time for.) When's the next stable release planned to be released, and what should I expect to be in it? cheers, Simon
