This is not correct - you can choose to install any valid version of the tool(s). Can you let me know what content of the wiki resulted in this confusion?

You are not even allowed to change the name of the repository if it has been cloned (you can change the name of the repository as long as it has not been cloned). Can you send me a screen shot of hte page that allows you to change the name of your tool in the tool shed? I'll provide a fix as soon as I see where the issue lies. > > e) Email alerts: I could not find an option to receive email alerts about > tool updates when installing via the Galaxy admin ui. Perhaps this should be > an option during installation. You can currently set email alerts for specified repositories in the tool shed itself. I will add it to my list to enhance the install process with this feature.

No special configuration settings are required in your local Galaxy instance to to run tools installed from a tool shed. If they stay in the queued state, there must be an issue in your local Galaxy instance that causes installed tools as well as tools included in the distribution to remain queued. It has nothing to do with the fact they were installed. > > > Migrating tools: > > I upgraded to the latest dist release of galaxy and when I restarted the > server I expected to get a message about migrating freebayes tools.

It may be best to restart without --daemon after an upgrade. This process works just like the Galaxy database migration process (but you are not forced to perform the tool installs), so you can do whatever you currently do to handle database migrations after you upgrades. Starting with --daemon should still display the exception in your paster log. Do you run multiple front end web servers? If so, the exception will only be thrown from one of them. > > Shaun Webb > Edinburgh University > > > > > -- > The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in > Scotland, with registration number SC005336. > > > ___________________________________________________________ > Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" > in your mail client.
