Overview

This page exists as a reminder to what the versioned track hub changes mean for engineers.

How to work with the 'versioned' track hub settings

1) Since every trackDb setting in the doc is now assigned a level (described in the intro of the trackDbHub doc)...

-> When you add a new setting, you will need to set it to 'level-new'.

Next time the doc is versioned, we will evaluate the new settings for assignment to a level.

2) As the doc is now parsed by hubCheck to verify settings...

-> After adding a setting to the doc, you will need to run 'hubCheck -settings' to see if your addition is formatted correctly.

To list all v1 settings (with levels) on genome-test, run

hubCheck -settings -test


The README.txt in the trackDb docs dir has been extended to include these steps with the new information in step 3. $ cat ~kent/src/hg/htdocs/goldenPath/help/trackDb/README.txt
