Discussion

• Chimera 1.13.1
  • Changes include - fixing
    • proline rotamer
    • align chains
    • independent rotation in scenes
    • vina command argument documentation
    • vina command/gui inconsistency
    • local executables with whitespace in path
    • major addh bug fix
  • Linux installation instructions still inaccurate (installer name wrong, ​ticket)
  • Hold off on release for next macOS release
    • Eric is working on getting Tk 8.6.8 to work correctly on Mac
• ChimeraX
  • Move to Python 3.7
    • Update to latest numpy
    • Update to latest msgpack using pip (if possible)
  • Need to move to PyQt5 5.11 (after Python 3.7) to get Vulkan support
    • Windows installer does not build
    • After 3.7
  • Putting RBVI bundles on toolshed
    • Proposal (Conrad)
      • Sync built wheels to plato repository in make process
      • Repository only keeps wheels from last X months ("if you don't release it in X months, you won't release it")
      • Provide web page to display "released" and "unreleased" bundles in repository and allow (authenticated) users to mark selected bundles for release
      • Provide make target to release all bundles to toolshed when making a release
      • Extract documentation when bundle is released and install as web pages (see below)
      • All functionality can be provided through toolshed code and made available via URLs
  • Documentation and tutorial strategy
    • Bundle-specific documentation should be placed into docs directory in package
    • Very rough proposal (Conrad)
      • Move all documentation into bundle docs directories
      • Change top-level docs directory to:
        • developer (manually edited docs)
        • user
          • non-bundle (manually edited docs, e.g., tutorials, indices, intro, etc.)
          • bundle (generated symlinks to bundle docs directories )
            • easier (web) access when editing
            • provide Makefile for git management, e.g., commit changes
      • ChimeraX documentation web pages on plato get updated as part of releasing a bundle
        • What about developer versions?
        • What about core documentation? Is core a bundle on toolshed? Can it really be updated through the toolshed?
