@mashehu and @Júlia Mir So I've been working on the topic channels implementation for versions, which is already working pretty well for most processes. But the processes using a

template

do not have support for the

eval

or

env

output declarations, which make it difficult to actually emit each tool version in a separate topic. So the solution here seems to be a hybrid system where the new method for versioning is used for all processes without a template and the old method of versioning is used for all modules with a template. (I'd convert these to topic channels too of course). What do you guys think about this?

looks like having the hybrid system is the best for now 👍🏻

I've asked on the Nextflow Slack but got no response 😕

From what I remember when I asked Ben about it not sure there is a plan actually

Hmm okay but it's not too bad, we could keep using yaml files for those cases. Yaml files can also be topic channels

but can we mix topic yaml and topic channels with legacy yaml versions?

Yeah I added it to the template in that PR 😛

Nice
