Bioconda ready entrez-direct
The official entrez-direct install script connects to the internet to download the binary component. Connecting to the internet during the bioconda installation is not allowed as it is a security risk and makes it impossible to validate archive hashes.
This repository repackages entrez-direct to contain all code inside the repository.
