Hi Eric, Despite the fact that internal hg repositories are used, the idea is NOT to use them as development repositories - but ONLY push releases to the ToolShed.
In the interests of reproducibility (other people might use your ToolShed entry in a workflow, or as a dependency), you should not be able to ever rewrite history or delete commits - something you can do with a git or hg repository but should generally avoid. i.e. Being allowed to "cleapup and start again" is blocked by the Galaxy goal of reproducibility. I personally prefer git to hg, and therefore use that for development tracking of my own ToolShed releases - but if you like hg then I would suggest using a BitBucket.org hosted hg repository for developing your tool. You can see examples here - many of these tools do have explicit dependencies on other tools/packages in the ToolShed (either my own, or from 3rd parties): https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_blast https://github.com/peterjc/pico_galaxy Regards, Peter On Tue, Jun 24, 2014 at 1:15 PM, Eric Kuyt <eric.ku...@wur.nl> wrote: > Hi All, > > I am playing around with putting a tool in testtoolshed.
