Hi Stephen,
The options in the prior post are still current for the Galaxy main server, however a direct method is something the team would like to consider. I have opened a ticket a bitbucket to track progress: http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/727/add-a-tool-to-do-bam-to...
Thanks for bringing up this topic again, it is a great idea,
Best,
Jen Galaxy team

Hi,
What is the 'official' method of converting a BAM file to a bigwig on the public server?
I saw this post:
http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/SAM-to-bigbed-td3059499.html
but it seems a bit long winded given the commonness of the operation.
On our local galaxy we installed from the Tool Shed:
BAM to BigWig Calculates coverage from a BAM alignment file
Which seems the obvious choice to make available.
Thanks,
