Hi Sébastien, This all looks fine, except for the part about including this in the distribution. As James stated, we are moving to a model where eventually all tools will be sourced from the Tool Shed. That is where you should create your repository. Whether or not to have the repo binaries self-install & config or not will be up to you. Going forward, you probably will want to start up a new thread for new questions and have discussions on the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu mailing list. This will give your questions the most exposure to the development community. http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/MailingLists#The_lists Take care, Jen Galaxy team On 6/12/13 8:05 AM, Sébastien Boisvert wrote:

I want to add Ray (a scalable de novo assembler for genomes and metagenomes) to Galaxy.
And I really want you to do this!
I will also have to write a wrapper for Ray to prepare the command line from the options provided by the Galaxy API.
But where is stored the executable (in my case, where is sdtored Ray) ?
Does Galaxy include the specs to build all the tools available in Galaxy-Central ?
No, we are gradually moving all the tools out of galaxy-central into the Tool Shed. You probably want to look at this page:

From what I understand, I need to write 2 XML files in order to allow people to add Ray to their Galaxy instances:
* ray.xml * tool_dependencies.xml
These two files are self-contained -- that is Galaxy will install everything using tool_dependencies.xml (in my case, Open-MPI and Ray will be installed from source using the GNU compiler).
Can I put these files directly in
galaxy-dist/tools/sr_assembly/ray/
?
I suppose these 2 XML files will be distributed in galaxy-dist, but like Velvet, Ray won't be enabled by default in tool_conf.xml as assembly is more costly than mapping.
Then, I need to add this to galaxy-dist/tool_conf.xml:
<section name="NGS: Assembly" id="ngs_assembly"> <label text="Ray" id="ray"/> <tool file="sr_assembly/ray/ray.xml" /> </section>
And finally, I just need to restart Galaxy.
Is that correct ?
Which describes how you can add a recipe to the toolshed that will install the Ray binaries.
