Re: [galaxy-dev] Is the galaxy main toolshed compatible with local installs of galaxy-dist?
Hello Ira and Galaxy-dev followers, Going forward from the current Galaxy release, mercurial change set revision ec29ce8e27a1 available in the Galaxy dist repository, the main Galaxy tool shed will track the Galaxy releases and the galaxy-dist repository on bitbucket. This announcement is included in the News Brief for the current Galaxy release - see http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/DevNewsBriefs/2012_07_20.

Re: [galaxy-dev] Is the galaxy main toolshed compatible with local installs of galaxy-dist?
Hi Greg, Thanks very much for the clarification. I'll just use a local toolshed for now since there are not many tools we need to install. When the official policy changes it would be great if that could be flagged in the announcement for a new release so we could start safely installing tools from the main toolshed to our production instance.

Re: [galaxy-dev] Is the galaxy main toolshed compatible with local installs of galaxy-dist?
Hi Ira, Both public Galaxy tool sheds track Galaxy central, and not Galaxy dist. This in unfortunate, but has been required over the past 2 years because the development activity at both the tool shed end and the Galaxy end has been extremely signifiant. Since development changes in the Galaxy environment must be compatible with development changes in the tool shed environment (and vice versa) in order for the 2 entities to function together, it has been impossible for the tool sheds to track the Galaxy dist repository, which generally is 8 - 10 weeks behind the Galaxy central repository. However, as the development of new features in the tool shed winds down (we're at the edge of that happening), the compatibility of the 2 entities becomes less of a problem. I believe a new Galaxy releases is planned for the near future, so dist will be compatible with the tool sheds (for a short time). However, issues may continue to crop up until the next dist release 2 months from now that could force the tools sheds to continue to track Galaxy central until that time. It's fairly likely that after the next dist release, maybe in September, that the tool sheds will able to begin tracking Galaxy dist. Ultimately that will happen, it's just a matter of when. I will, in fact, try to have the tool sheds track dist at this upcoming release, but I cannot guarantee that fixes won't be necessary within the 8 to 10 week time frame between dist updates.
