Hello -

We have developed an open-source tool (https://github.com/appliedbinf/el_gato) that we would like to host on CDCgov once internal clearance has been completed. Currently, we provide two package installation mechanisms (bioconda and pip). Can CDCgov generate a bioconda package rather than the organization (ABiL) currently generating it? Note that we have not requested the GitHub repo for the CDCgov site.

Thank you,
Jenna

Sure; if you provide the clearance - we can certainly host it on cdcgov.

We can create you an open source repository via this ticket mechanism; and ask for an Open Source repository along with the name of the repository, and other relevant information.

For the generation of the bioconda package, how is it built today? Is this via a Github workflow?
I don't see how it's built, packaged and versioned in the repository so a discussion is needed for that.

Hi @boris-ning-usds

Thank you for following up. I tried to find you in our email lookup with no success, so I am unsure how to send a calendar invite for this discussion. My Teams calendar is up to date if you would like to send an invite during the next two weeks to talk about it. Please let me know if you have a different preferred mechanism for chatting.

Meeting Discussion:

Next step -

1. Transfer repository to cdcgov; ex. https://github.com/cdcgov/el_gato
   • Onboard users to cdcgov org of Github.
2. Conda topic, build process should end up on this library link: https://anaconda.org/bioconda/el_gato
   • Talk to team about who has admin rights, whether we can collaborate and be added as admins.
   • Thinking about signing up via https://anaconda.org/account/register.
3. Open Discussion on support. Email / Team me on tpz7 or email [email protected] for the rest of my team.
