modification of the dmp files? #71

My nextflow pipeline includes downloading and uncompressing the taxdump files. My pipeline always re-runs this step, even when using caching in nextflow (-resume). I'm wondering if the issue is due to taxonkit modifying the *.dmp files upon the first usage of taxonkit. I'm specifically running taxonkit name2taxid

It does not change them.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm guessing that it is not practical to change the functionality, so I'll just pre-download the taxdump prior to the pipeline run.
