GFA/DAS divergence (GFAK has fallen off-spec) #7

Closed edawson closed 7 years ago

edawson commented 8 years ago

GFAKluge is no longer up to spec, as the spec has rapidly changed.

I am in the process of updating things, but:

  1. this may break compatibility with current vg-produced GFA files.
  2. supporting DAS will require significant revisions in design.
  3. a lot of new logic is now required to enforce the spec, especially WRT header lines.
  4. we must now exchange paths for walks and would like a way to convert between the two.

I expect a full update will take until late November at the very earliest. Until then, GFAK/master will be frozen at compatibility with current VG GFA files (approximately GFA 0.1).

GFAKluge is now 0.1 and 1.0 compliant, but is not compliant at all with GFA2.0 (which has diverged significantly from the original spec).

Closing this since we're now GFA2 compatible, minus any residual bugs.
