Questions prior to PR for new datatype #12364

Hi, I would like to increase the number of homer tools on tools-iuc but I would need a new datatype. @bgruening wrote one long time ago: https://github.com/bgruening/galaxytools/tree/e1a5437ef31359700b98fdf5e6c67778f9799528/tools/homer I don't know if I should copy paste the file 'homer.py' and add the corresponding lines in the files or if you prefer that I just create a html subclass or any other suggestion or if you are not insterested in supporting a new datatype. In theory this new datatype would be used for multiple tools: getDifferentialPeaks findPeaks analyzeRepeats etc... Thanks for your answer.

I think adding this datatypes is ok. If as simple subclass or creating a proper class with more detailed metadata is up to you :-) I don't think we need the metadata for now? I also don't remember how stable they have been for that datatype.
