Description

Description of feature
  • The maf_to_matrix.py script should be submitted upstream, as it is a fork of maf-convert.
  • As noted by @tm4zza in https://github.com/nf-core/pairgenomealign/pull/151, the named pipe should be cleaned after use, and the wait command should check the exit status (wait "$matrix_pid" || exit 1)

All of this should be done by the original last/split module itself instead of patching it.

Research direction

Read the maf_to_matrix.py script and the original last/split module, using pull request #151 for context on the named-pipe cleanup and wait exit-status behavior. Update the original module so these changes are handled there rather than by a patch, and ensure maf_to_matrix.py is suitable for upstream submission.
