Description (last modified by martijn) (diff)
Proposal for automatic synonym database updates We need a file on the server that is a single flat table, automatically generated, with the following entries:
series name: e.g "Homo sapiens" or "metabolite" date in rfc-2822 format version: "20090801" full url to zip file for that version: http://www.bridgedb.org/data/gene_database/Ce_Derby_20081205.zip See the attached file for an example
The url for this file will be: http://www.bridgedb.org/data/gene_database/packages.txt
The file should not be overwritten, instead rows should be removed and added. This so series can be updated independently, without knowledge about other series (for example gene databases can be updated independently of metabolite databases
Version may be any format (doesn't have to be date), as long as it's increasing on a numerical (not alphabetical) comparison.
Newly produced bridge databases are first uploaded to bridgedb.org Wikipathways automatically updates from there.
Needed: upload-to-bridgedb-script automatic-update-script
