Re: ELIXIR tools registry participation - richer metadata for our packages
Hi,
I'd like to add to this old thread some results of a later meeting in
Copenhagen - our Debian Med sprint last week kindly sponsored by DTU.
I confirm that I took over edam data files in Debian Med packages into
UDD. You can easily query all these data by a script I provided on
Github:
https://github.com/bio-tools/biotoolsConnect/blob/master/DebianMed/edam.sh
Feel free to run this script on any Linux machine with a psql client.
In case you are lacking any such machine but you are a member of the
Debian Med team you can do
rsync edam.sh alioth.debian.org:
ssh alioth.debian.org
./edam.sh
I'd be happy if some of the EDAM people could confirm that this works
for them.
Kind regards
Andreas.
