Validate Biobox File

This repository contains the code for building the validate-biobox-file tool for bioboxes. Documentation is provided in the doc folder.

Development

On a successful commit to master the following actions happen on the continuous integration server:

• A new binary version is built using pyinstaller.
• The archive validate-biobox-file.tar.xz is created from the build.
• This file is pushed to amazon S3 assuming there is not already an existing file with the same version number.
• A rebuild is triggered of the bioboxes.org repository.
• The bioboxes.org website builder will fetch the latest version of the documentation in the doc directory and display this on the site.
