Open uncomfyhalomacro opened 1 year ago

uncomfyhalomacro commented 1 year ago

Scenario

Some users use a custom depot path for Julia using the JULIA_DEPOT environmental variable.

Rationale

Regardless of the reason, juliaup should track custom depot paths to allow flexible configuration and managing of julia versions on customized setups.

Use cases

uncomfyhalomacro commented 1 year ago

We still have this issue https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup/pull/661 that is not yet resolved. So this is a braindump for now until that's done.

I don't really understand what the proposal actually is. What do you mean by "tracking"? I think this just needs more explanation of what you actually have in mind :)
