Hi, I grabbed some xml files from Hannons website for his fastx toolkit (improved over galaxys default version). Then I created a repository, uploaded the xml files, but the toolshed complains that it could not find the tools for creating metadata in the xml files.

Could somebody please tell me what the problem is with these files? They look like valid tool.xml files to me.

thank you very much, ido

Hi Ido, For future reference, there is a Test Tool Shed which is a great place to upload unfinished tools for basic sanity testing before publishing them on the Main Tool Shed, see: http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ (Note - it is a good idea to register with the same username on both the main and test toolsheds, i.e. idot in your case.) As to the immediate problem, I don't recall experiencing that myself. Peter
