conda installable gin? #208

Open JuliaSprenger opened 6 years ago

JuliaSprenger commented 6 years ago

Since git and git-annex are both available as conda packages, is it possible to set up also a conda version of the gin client? This would simplify the integration of gin into workflows which are based on conda environments eg. due to restricted rights.

Hey all. I kind of believe we discussed this issue, however, I am unsure what the conclusion was? @JuliaSprenger just reminded me of it and I thought its maybe useful to push this again.

I would be of the opinion that Conda is kind of a strange way to ship go binaries (i know Conda says it's for any language... ) however I can kind of see (with quite some pain) that people tend to use it that way?

thoughts? or again did we agree on something?

achilleas-k commented 6 years ago

Since people use it for anything, I suppose it would be nice to make a G-Node user and upload gin-cli as well as other projects. As @JuliaSprenger mentioned, it will probably make it easier for anaconda users to get the gin client along with git-annex.

I'll update this issue with more info when I read up on the packaging guidelines for conda.

Hey all, I would be very interested in having a conda installable gin-client, so I can use my environment in the cluster without having to install everything individually. Has there been progress on this front?

achilleas-k commented 4 years ago

I've been meaning to look into this for a while (over a year, by the looks it). One issue is that I'm not sure how much work is involved so other things tend to take priority. Does anyone know if this is as simple as creating a user on the Anaconda Cloud and uploading some packages? Is the packaging and install script writing simple enough?

JuliaSprenger commented 4 years ago

I have no intuition for that. I think @alperyeg has more experience with that. Maybe he can tell you.

Yes it is quite simple. Even simpler if you have a pip version. There are some basic steps you have to follow. Here is the landing page https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/latest/ git-annex is on the anaconda cloud, probably it is easier to use that build as well.

"As a temporary workaround I am currently manually adding the gin-cli to conda environments. A short summary of this procedure can be found here: https://gist.github.com/JuliaSprenger/ef009154d61716d85710772672749fbf"
