Packaging research software and its dependencies #6

Open rbirkelbach opened 6 years ago

rbirkelbach commented 6 years ago

What should/will the learning objective(s) be?

Learn about packaging R/python software and its dependencies using some of the following tools:

packrat
miniCRAN
conda
docker

What do participants need to know / install / bring:

Install the tools mentioned above and bring a notebook.

In order to be accepted as an event, each suggestion needs to:

receive 3 or more positive reactions
be assigned to someone who will lead the event

then, a PR can be started against the _posts folder to include a YYYY-MM-DD-event-title.markdown file to actually schedule event.

Would this mostly be about dependencies? If so, we can keep #28 separate.

jkreklow commented 5 years ago

Sounds to me as if it's quite the same thing. I agree to @rbirkelbach that it would be okay to make an event showing both the R and Python version for this as the concepts are pretty much the same. What do you think?

david-morris commented 5 years ago

Maybe we should focus on one packaging tool per event. The differing philosophies between different packaging systems seems like they create different concepts to master and skills to learn.

rbirkelbach commented 5 years ago

I think it's good to keep this issue separate from issue #28. Maybe it's good to make it into two or three issues. Either teach packrat/miniCRAN and conda together and have another event with docker or have a session with packrat/miniCRAN, one with conda and one with docker. What do you think?
