Note that there are situations in which more than one ExtDbRelId needs to be passed in to the plugin, for different databases: e.g. RefSeq, DBTSS, etc. Don't know if the plugins currently in Supported have examples of this, but there are certainly plugins that we are writing at CBIL that have this and some of these might one day be moved to GUS::Supported. What should the convention be in this case? I'm currently using things like: --refSeqExternalDatabaseSpec --dbtssExternalDatabaseSpec etc. Elisabetta --- On Fri, 18 Nov 2005, Steve Fischer wrote: > i plan on converting all supported plugins to using > --externalDatabaseSpec. from there on out it will be a matter of people > using the convention when they make a new plugin. > > > > Aaron J.
