Hi all, I've send this to both the Galaxy and Biopython developers lists, and hope this will make sense to both groups. If you've not heard of Galaxy, start here: http://galaxyproject.org - while the easy to guess Biopython website is at http://biopython.org Brad Chapman and I are both Biopython core developers, and are also both on the "IUC" Galaxy Tool Shed committee because we've been quite involved in wrapping and writing tools for use on Galaxy. Fellow committee member Björn Grüning has done a lot of the hands on work defining package definitions for dependencies within the Galaxy Tool Shed ecosystem - including defining them for Biopython, NumPy, SciPy, MatPlotLib, etc. We're very grateful for his hard work - most of which is now available under the IUC group account: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/ http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/ The Biopython packages, however, are under a dedicated "biopython" account on the Galaxy Tool Shed to which currently Bjoern, Brad and I have access to: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/biopython/ http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/biopython/ This packaging work was initially tracked in Bjoern's own GitHub repository, https://github.com/bgruening/galaxytools/ We (me, Brad and Bjoern) agreed that a Biopython owned repository would be more sensible in the long term, so I have created this and ported Bjoern's commits to it: https://github.com/biopython/galaxy_packages Currently the "Galaxy packagers" team on GitHub which has read and write access to this new repository is just me, Brad and Bjoern. Regards, Peter
