I fixed all the paths and whatnot, but the DM fails. The handler logs: ``` galaxy.tools.data_manager.manager WARNING 2020-01-15 14:30:16,408 No values for data table "dada2_taxonomy" were returned by the data...

Interestingly... the log message references an old version of the DM (0.0.1) which I don't believe is even installed (both 0.0.7 and 0.0.8 appear to be installed, and 0.0.8 is...

I've made some good progress so far today. With the following modifications I am able to load a tool from a `shed_tool_conf.xml` in CVMFS *without* the corresponding install database: ```patch...

This patch is just a quick hack obviously, and there are going to be some issues. It is not recognized as a TS tool, so the tool ID is simply...
