Hi!

On monday 04/04, @bgruening https://github.com/bgruening and some members of Galaxy team (me and @nitesh1989 https://github.com/nitesh1989 at least) would want to get a Hackathon on adding IUC / Devteam tools Conda dependencies.

Hackathon begins at: 2pm (UTC-4) / 8pm (UTC+2).

It will be as following:

- @bgruening https://github.com/bgruening will give a small introduction how to create a recipe and the scripts involved in it] - Introduce everyone to conda and bioconda - Then we pick a simple tool and create it - @bgruening https://github.com/bgruening will provide a list with bugs that needs to be fixed on the framework level

Aims:

- get familiar with conda packaging the conda-Galaxy integration - remove tools from the testing blacklists: 1 https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/.tt_blacklist 2 https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/.tt_blacklist 3 https://github.com/bgruening/galaxytools/blob/master/.tt_blacklist - Integrate Travis-conda testing in GalaxyP - Integrate Travis-conda testing in galaxy_blast (@peterjc https://github.com/peterjc?)

Infrastructure work:

- galaxyproject/galaxy#2047 https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/2047 - condarc is update if you add new channels, but you can not remove channels - conda is not working in the Galaxy Docker image - bioconda needs to archive all tarballs to depot.galaxyproject.org - Galaxy Admin support to remove environments

Let us know https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/issues/700 if you are interested :).

Regards, Bjorn, Remi and the Galaxy Team
