These packages are now obsolete as Galaxy has transitioned to using Conda and the BioConda channel for packaging tool dependencies. Specifically, we now use https://anaconda.org/bioconda/blast for the NCBI BLAST+ binaries.
Each sub-folder represents a different entry on the Galaxy ToolShed, for
example package_blast_plus_2_2_31 defines the BLAST+ 2.2.31 dependency
which can be used by other Galaxy ToolShed entries via the IUC owned
https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/package_blast_plus_2_2_31
Each folder has a (hidden) special file .shed.yml for use with the
command line tool Planemo to help automate pushing updates to the Galaxy
Tool Shed, e.g.
$ planemo shed_update --shed_target testtoolshed --check_diff package_blast_plus_2_2_31 ... $ planemo shed_update --shed_target toolshed --check_diff package_blast_plus_2_2_31 ...
For general information, see the main README file.
