[Bioperl-l] Bio::Tools::Run::WrapperBase: Capture the command thatis executed?

[Mark A. Jensen]

Hey Ben,
Yes, the new stuff is in the bioperl-dev/trunk
svn://code.open-bio.org/bioperl/bioperl-dev/trunk/Bio/Tools/Run
(code.open-bio.org was working as of this morning...)

This is all pretty experimental, so use at own risk. The XML-based
config system is experimental too at the moment (tho' all code
is available, in bioperl-dev/trunk/Bio/Tools). I've been getting
good feedback from other Bio* peeps, who are advocating using an
existing config standard like emboss ACD or the Galaxy format.
I'll likely convert the wrappermaker system to using one of those,
but the custom format (in maker.xsd in bioperl-dev) will be there to
experiment with.

(To the list, any comments regarding this issue are welcome, see
 http://bioperl.org/wiki/HOWTO:Wrappers for an overview of
this project)

cheers MAJ

ok, that's what i thought.  whenever i need to debug something i've
been hacking CommandExts to print @ipc_args, but that's kind of an
ugly solution.

related to this - now that XML is supported instead of text-based
config files, is there a subversion repository where anyone is
gathering these files?  i saw your web-based XML generator, which is
useful.
