One idea is to use the hg repository instead of the svn repository (now just a mirror of svn). Because hg is decentralized, it is much easier to maintain your own local repository. You can version control your local modifications, and occasionally pull changes from galaxy- central. -- jt On Feb 16, 2009, at 11:52 AM, Ayton Meintjes wrote:

Hi all

I'd be interested to hear comments/advice on how to best deploy Galaxy locally with the following requirements:

1) Need to keep it in sync with central source repository. Or are there "stable releases" I should be using? I'm just updating from the svn tree. 2) Need to add own tools, data formats, tests etc. I have currently created my own repository which mirrors the galaxy structure. I then link to these files from the Galaxy folders. Tedious.

Even just descriptions of your own setups (and problems) would help.

thanks in advance! _______________________________________________ galaxy-dev mailing list galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu http://mail.bx.psu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/galaxy-dev
