could one "opt out" of Genbank submission

[phiweger]

hi Torsten,

several issues relate to prokka trying to create records than can be uploaded to Genbank w/o further postprocessing (looking at you tbl2asn and the "contig-name-too-long issue"). I often use prokka as part of some pipeline, w/o intending to submit the annotation.

could you add a --relax flag that simply does not perform the Genbank submission formalities?

kind regards, Adrian

Removing tbl2asn would mean NO .gbk file would be created.

The simplest thing to do for now is to just comment out or delete these lines. Maybe make a copy first and call it prokka-nogbk or similar.

runcmd(
  "tbl2asn -V b -a r10k -l paired-ends $tbl2asn_opt -N $accver -y 'Annotated using $EXE $VERSION from $URL'".
  " -Z \Q$outdir/$prefix.err\E -i \Q$outdir/$prefix.fsa\E 2> /dev/null"
);
delfile("$outdir/errorsummary.val");
delfile( map { "$outdir/$prefix.$_" } qw(dr fixedproducts ecn val) );

msg("Repairing broken .GBK output that tbl2asn produces...");
runcmd("sed 's/COORDINATES: profile/COORDINATES:profile/' < \Q$outdir/$prefix.gbf\E > \Q$outdir/$prefix.gbk\E")
