This repository monitors repositories containing Galaxy and CWL tools and opens requests to https://github.com/BioContainers/multi-package-containers to register mulled containers for combinations of requirements that are not already published or registered. The result of this is that these tools will have containers published and available on quay.io.
Feel free to open a pull request to add your repository to the list in repositories.list to monitor
your tools published tn GitHub as well.
See .travis.yml for the driving recipe and monitor.sh for the Planemo driving script. monitor.sh is meant to be executed as a cron job - it will clone each repository tracked and walk all available tools using Planemo. For each tool it will check its requirements and for each combination of requirements in such tools and ensure that this combination of requirements is registered in https://github.com/jmchilton/multi-package-containers or that there is an open request already. To perform this registeration - planemo simply opens a pull request adding a hashed file to that repository - once merged the CI associated with multi-package-containers will build and publish that container to quay.io.
- This repository repository only deals with tools that require multiple requirements since all single Bioconda requirements should already be available on https://quay.io/organization/biocontainers - but we should have a mechanism for capturing single requirements from other best practice channels such as conda-forge and publishing those.
- Metadata about tools requiring these repositories should be stored in the multireqcontainers repository.
- The containers should be tested using both the tools and the Conda recipe tests after they are constructed.
- We should be publishing a report (maybe just a visualizable XUnit description) or available requirements and containers for each repository.
