[Bioperl-l] Whither Bio::FeatureIO?

[Fields, Christopher J]

The commit history is all there I believe; we could simply commit a tag pointing to the last commit prior to all the major code changes and make that a separate release (probably with a separate version, 1.7 at least).

Hi Chris,

I almost forgot about this thread.  Yes, there are still tools in the GMOD distribution (including the GFF bulk loader) that use Bio::FeatureIO.  I'm still using 1.6.901 for most things, so I've not been bitten by its being gone.  A distribution on CPAN would probably be best, and a corresponding new release of Chado (because I have all the time in the world to work on that!) to go with it.

I haven't looked--what's the state of it now?

It’s been moved to a separate github distribution, namely Bio-FeatureIO, but it was also being largely rewritten as the original implementation was never completed.  We can probably set up a branch with the relevant version of the code that should work with the script.

Scott, is this the recommended way of loading Chado data in still?  Do we need a working version of Bio::FeatureIO on CPAN so it’s available?  For some reason I thought users started going with Bio::Chado::Schema...
