Hello Galaxy-developers and community,
I would like to ask your advice on installing software. I used the cloudman scripts to install galaxy on a multi-core server. I use the fabric scripts from cloudman/mi-diployment to install some software but I am also looking at repositories like biolinux and the NBIC RPM repository. There has been a thread about that over here: http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/RPM-repository-for-NGS-tools-in-Galaxy-tp26...
As James says in that thread I also prefer to install software in isolated directories to keep track of different version. Did someone use the biolinux repository to install software in a galaxy accepted path: $GALAXY_APPS/package/version/? How does the Galaxy Cloud team does that? (Enis?) I was thinking to use 'sudo apt-get --download-only' to first get the debs and then install them using 'dpkg --instdir' and then specifying the directory. Or is there a smarter way to do this?
Any thoughts on this issue are appreciated.
Thanks.
