Hi,

I've installed galaxy on our server some time ago when it was using mercurial. I've recently noticed the changed to git. Is the mercurial version still supported? If so for how long will it be? Should I switch to git? If yes Is there a way to transfer my settings or do I have to reinstall from scratch?

Many thanks,

Karol

Hi Karol,

the mercurial repository gets the main release update but all development will happen on github using git. I would recommend to switch over to git if you have some time. It's fairly easy.

  1. fix your mercurial version to a specific checksum/release
  2. clone Galaxy from github and switch the the exact same version as your mercurial installation
  3. rename the .hg folder
  4. copy over your .git folder from your fresh checkout into your Galaxy installation
  5. copy over the gitignore file
  6. delete the .hg ignore file
  7. make git update && git checkout <your new verions> to update your Galaxy to a newer version

I hope this will get you started,

Bjoern

The transfer is also documented at the bottom of the following page: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Develop/SourceCode
