Browsing my namespace on galaxy, utoddl.logical seems to have gone on a diet: “0 Modules 0 Roles 0 Plugins 0 Dependencies”. There used to be a plugin in there, I promise!
Perhaps related: looking at My Namespaces shows four other namespaces (1) that are totally empty and (2) that I was totally unaware of: utoddl0, utoddl1, utoddl2, and utoddl3. The docs talk about deleting various entities, but I don’t see a way I can delete these bogus (as far as I’m concerned) empty namespaces.
Thanks @utoddl for the report and sorry for the inconvenience. The team is investigating some strangeness that happened with namespace migrations right now.
The plugin metadata issue still remains though. I believe that is due to the galaxy-importer code complaining about problems with the collection and not sending back the data (which implies it wouldn’t successfully publish right now either).
This is correct. The deficient 5-year-old metadata is easily fixed, but it’s the docs I’m stuck on. Internally we’re a gitlab shop. The bugaboo at the moment is that the README.md has to render well on github, gitlab, and galaxy-ng. Both git*b services have APIs to render HTML from markdown, but not so on gal*, at least not without actually publishing a new version. That’s a little late in the process to determine the tables in your markdown - which are fine on git*b - are borked on galaxy.
galaxy-importer has already pointed out at least one missing file, and the old meta/main.yml is … older than most hummingbirds! Standards have risen. Like I said, that’s easily fixed. I need to rewrite the docs, and that’s going to take time.
Fortunately, this collection may be the least important one on the whole platform. It’s literally two files: a plugin, and a README.md. (I’m not counting the metadata files.) I have lots more important stuff to put off before I can concentrate on putting this one off.
