+Galaxy wrapper for OpenMS
+=========================
+
+OpenMS is an open-source software C++ library for LC/MS data management and analyses.
+It offers an infrastructure for the rapid development of mass spectrometry related software.
+OpenMS is free software available under the three clause BSD license and runs under Windows, MacOSX and Linux.
+
+More informations are available at:
+
+ * https://github.com/OpenMS/OpenMS
+ * https://www.openms.de/
+
+The wrappers for these tools and most of their tests are automatically
+generated using the `generate.sh` script. The generation of the tools is
+based on the CTDConverter (https://github.com/WorkflowConversion/CTDConverter)
+which can be fine tuned via the `hardcoded_params.json` file. This file allows
+to blacklist and hardcode parameters and to modify or set arbitrary
+CTD/XML attributes.
+
+Note that, due to its size, the test data is excluded from this repository. In
+order to generate the test data on call `test-data.sh`.
+
+Manual updates should only be done to
+
+- the `@GALAXY_VERSION@"` token in `macros.xml`
+- and the manually contributed tests in `macros_test.xml` (The goal is that all
+  tools that do not have an automatically generated test are covered here)
+- the `hardcoded_params.json` files
+
+In a few cases patches may be acceptable.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+The Galaxy OpenMS tools can be installed from the toolshed. While most tools
+will work out of the box some need attention since requirements can not be
+fulfilled via Conda:
+
+Not yet in Conda are:
+
+- SpectraST (http://tools.proteomecenter.org/wiki/index.php?title=SpectraST)
+- MaRaCluster (https://github.com/statisticalbiotechnology/maracluster)
+
+Binaries for these tools can easily be obtained via: 
+
+```
+VERSION=....
+git git clone -b release/$VERSION.0 https://github.com/OpenMS/OpenMS.git OpenMS$VERSION.0-git
+git submodule init OpenMS$VERSION.0-git
+git submodule update OpenMS$VERSION.0-git
+```
+
+They are located in `OpenMS$VERSION-git/THIRDPARTY/`. 
+
+Not in Conda due to licencing restrictions:
+
+- Mascot http://www.matrixscience.com/
+- MSFragger https://github.com/Nesvilab/MSFragger
+- Novor http://www.rapidnovor.org/novor
+
+There are multiple ways to enable the Galaxy tools to use these binaries. 
+
+- Just copy them to the `bin` path within Galaxy's conda environment
+- Put them in any other path that that is included in PATH
+- Edit the corresponding tools: In the command line part search for the parameters `-executable`, `-maracluster_executable`, or `-mascot_directory` and edit them appropriately.
+
+Working
+=======
+
+The tools work by:
+
+Preprocessing:
+
+- For each input / output data set parameter a directory is crated (named by
+  the parameter)
+- For input data set parameters the links to the actual location of the data
+  sets are created
+
+Main:
+
+- The galaxy wrapper create two json config files: one containing the
+  parameters and the values chosen by the user and the other the values of
+  hardcoded parameters.
+- With `OpenMSTool -write_ctd ./` a CTD (names OpenMSTool.ctd) file is
+  generated that contains the default values.
+- A call to `fill_ctd.py` fills in the values from the json config files into
+  the CTD file
+- The actual tool is called `OpenMSTool -ini OpenMSTool.ctd` and also all input
+  and output parameters are given on the command line.
+
+Postprocessing:
+
+- output data sets are moved to the final locations
+
+Note: The reason for handling data sets on the command line (and not specifying
+them in the CTD file) is mainly that all files in Galaxy have the extension
+`.dat` and OpenMS tools require an appropriate extension. But this may change
+in the future.
+
+Generating OpenMS wrappers
+==========================
+
+1. remove old test data: `rm -rf $(ls -d test-data/* | egrep -v "random|\.loc")`
+2. `./generate.sh`
+
+Whats happening:
+
+1. The binaries of the OpenMS package can generate a CTD file that describes
+   the parameters. These CTD files are converted to xml Galaxy tool descriptions
+   using the `CTDConverter`.
+
+2. The CI testing framework of OpenMS contains command lines and test data 
+   (https://github.com/OpenMS/OpenMS/tree/develop/src/tests/topp). These tests
+   are described in two CMake files.
+
+   - From these CMake files Galaxy tests are auto generated and stored in `macros_autotest.xml`
+   - The command lines are stored in `prepare_test_data.sh` for regeneration of test data
+
+More details can be found in the comments of the shell script.
+
+Open problems
+=============
+
+Some tools stall in CI testing using `--biocontainers` which is why the OpenMS
+tools are currently listed in `.tt_biocontainer_skip`. This is
+
+- AssayGeneratorMetabo and SiriusAdapter (both depend on sirius)
+- OMSSAAdapter
+
+Using `docker -t` seems to solve the problem (see
+https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/10153).
