Hi Greg,

Ok I pulled the latest changeset and updated the database. No probs.

Now I am able to get tools from the galaxy main toolshed. Tested the table2html tool to be sure about no additional dependencies. It came up nicely with the section list I can install a tool to; but...

I created an EMPTY section in the tool_conf.xml menu where I want the toolshed tools to go to at the moment. To keep it maintainable for now at testing. But It does not show up in the bullet list of sections to install to (as these sections also do not show up in the menu itself until they cotain a valid tool xml). Other custom sections are there.

Part of the tool_conf.xml

</section>

</section>

I added an empty <tool file=”” /> line in the section and still not there. Adding a valid tool lets it show up in the bullit list as it now also shows up in the left panel.. (as expected).

Another test on the EMPTY section when I tried adding the tool providing THE SAME section name as custom in the field as a new tool panel section... it just adds it to the end of the section lists in the left. But it does work.

It also remains working when I enable my own section menu again by adding another tool to the xml first. The section with the same name shows up on two places in the section list when adding tools from toolshed (as expected). Probably due to the different section id. There might be a possible problem when the id turns out the same as an already used one?

I manually altered the shed_tool_conf.xml to match my section name and id and everything is ok.

Maybe something to look into? Just a minor issue I think.

Keep up the good work!

Alex

Things should be working in change set 6667:86d9c5ddbafc, which is now available from the Galaxy central repository. Please let me know if you bump into any problems.

To use the latest features related to tool versioning, update your local tool shed as well as your local Galaxy instance ( both require updating the database schema ). In your local tool shed, reset all metadata for each repository using the Repository Actions pop-up for each repository. Since you already have repositories in your tool shed, you'll need to do this once for each existing repository. Any updates to the repository will automatically do this. New repositories created from here on will handle this automatically as well.

Then, in your local Galaxy instance, set tool versions for each installed tool shed repository using the repository's pop-up.

This change set will introduce tool versioning for Galaxy tools, whether they are installed from a tool shed, or are available with the distribution. This will affect the tool shed as well as repositories installed from tool sheds that contain tools. This versioning feature will provide a chain of ancestor tool versions and descendant tool versions for any tool instance.

My hope is that this will be the last major feature introduced until we get everything stabilized a bit more between the tool shed and Galaxy.
