This repository contains a script that attempts to convert package repositories from a Galaxy Tool Shed (i.e. those repositories defining software installations - not those defining the tool XML Galaxy uses to create forms and command lines) into a Homebrew tap installable and usable via platform-brew.

The latest experimental tap created with this script can be found here. This scirpt has known limitations however and so not all recipes are functional.

To test tool shed installs using brew - install brew, install platform-brew, and tap homebrew-toolshed and use platform brew to test things out.

% ruby -e "$(wget -O- https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew/go/install)" # if needed
% brew tap jmchilton/platform
% brew install --HEAD platform-brew
% brew tap jmchilton/toolshed
% brew vinstall jmchilton/toolshed/devteam_packageemboss500 1.0 --without-architecture
% . <(brew env jmchilton/toolshed/devteam_packageemboss500 1.0)
