I have found an interesting approach in the modules repo that I want to discuss with the hivemind before normal review. This new module uses git to get module files from GitHub before running, as the software is not distributed in any Conda repository. While I don't see any big red flags about this approach, this is certainly non-standard (I have not seen this before) and might cause issues for people who need to pre-download containers (since it skips Nextflow's caching). What do you think?

Oh

this wouldn't work for offline usage I think

but I like the craftyness

IMO it's pretty trivial to package stuff into a Bioconda package, so I'd much rather do that than depend on a tag in a github repo that may or may not change

Sure, on it

You can rename tags so that system makes no sense from the point of reproduicilbity IMO

or at the very least it should just be put in a container 😅

I have put a red mark on the PR so nobody accidentally approves it, let's see where it goes

IGOR for president

yeah, bioconda seems the way to go here
