Link to Bioconda packages

[joncison]

Hi @bgruening

We we're discussing today whether it makes sense for biotoolsSchema hence bio.tools to support links somehow to conda packages (and this also with view to future "ecosystem"). Would that be useful, if so, what to link to?

e.g.

• to the package metadata / description e.g. https://anaconda.org/bioconda/phate
• to the package download e.g. https://anaconda.org/bioconda/phate/0.4.5/download/noarch/phate-0.4.5-py_0.tar.bz2
• link to the conda recipe e.g. https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes/tree/master/3proxy

or something else?

please advise -thanks ! cc @hansioan @matuskalas @hmenager

Will be at the BH in a few hours looking forward to talking to you about all this very soon :)

Initial thoughts is that 1 makes sense, as one also containers 3 in the tarball.

After a check with bg & an3, I confirm that the link should be e.g.

• https://bioconda.github.io/recipes/bowtie2/README.html

in general

• https://bioconda.github.io/recipes/<packagename>/README.html

and it should be called Package (Bioconda) (or Package (Conda)?). See also #164

For now, the way to handle this is done (see #164). So no action needed for now.
