As far as I know (@Dave, please correct me if I'm wrong) A0 does not exists for Galaxy as soon as you have A1 installed. Galaxy should see during runtime that A is a "package", a special repository only containing tool dependencies, and should only take the most recent version. Imho a different behaviour is a bug. And I actually don't know why A0 is not deleted as soon as A1 is installed successfully. Revisions as Sarah has described in her mail do not exist for tool-dependency packages, afaik. > === > Regard R > I agree that as a wrapper it Galaxy is highly dependent on what the > underlying tools report. > > And if they change what they report that is a disaster. > > What I do in my testing is after all the R is loaded try to run an R script > which loads the packages as a test. > > Something like: > library(Cairo) > args<-commandArgs(TRUE) > writeLines(capture.output(sessionInfo()), args[1]) > sessionInfo() > > But even then the tool goes green with an R error, > > Christian > > ________________________________________ > From: Björn Grüning [bjoern.gruen...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2015 10:48 AM > To: Christian Brenninkmeijer; Sarah DIEHL; galaxy-dev@lists.galaxyproject.org > Subject: Re: [galaxy-dev] recurring issues with revisions of packages from > toolshed > > Am 15.10.2015 um 11:43 schrieb Christian Brenninkmeijer: >> Note these are personal views of another admin not official Galaxy views. >> >> The version issues is a hard one to solve, as automatically updating >> upstream project is also dangerous as that leaves them in a state that has >> not be verified by the developer. >> >> Best solution could be for the toolshed to warn if a tool upload would pull >> in multiple versions. > > Can you elaborate there a little bit more? > >> As for the R install issue. >> 1.
