[NORDNS] [65.246.187.176] [Bioperl-l] script installation

[Brian Osborne]

Malcolm,

No, you're not missing anything. Version 1.2.3 is based on version 1.2,
naturally, which didn't have script installation. Script installation won't
formally appear until 1.3 but there's documentation out there that talks
about script installation.

This is my fault. I had assumed, wrongly, that script installation would
appear earlier than it has so I jumped the gun and wrote documentation that
talked about it. If you would like script installation then install the
latest version in CVS (bioperl-live, for example).

I'll revise the documentation.

Brian O.

Fellow BioPerlers,

I just installed v 1.2.3 and can not find any mention of how scripts
are, or are not, installed.

Amy I missing something?

My best effort at finding a decision on what was going to be done found
this thread:

http://portal.open-bio.org/mailman/htdig/bioperl-l/2003-March/011573.htm
l

It begins as follows, but never seemed to resolve.  Any help
appreciated!

Thanks,

Malcolm


Excerpt from thread:

The README in scripts/utilities says:

This directory is for robust scripts which have documentation,
cmdline arguments, and can be used in a production environment.
Their extensions will be renamed .pl and will be installed in
the SCRIPT_INSTALL directory as defined in the Makefile.PL
configuration.

We should probably go ahead and implement this, or temporarily remove
this
README.

If you'd like to proceed with the former I can make sure that the script
installation is documented in the appropriate places, and I'll also go
ahead
and test all the scripts in scripts/ as best as I can, as promised. Your
thoughts?
