apt-get datalad gets version 11 #71

Closed dkp closed 3 years ago

dkp commented 3 years ago

Could you update the apt-get package? It is difficult to teach datalad when I cannot easily get an up-to-date package ; (

yarikoptic commented 3 years ago

well, that is what your debian or ubuntu release has and there is no way to change that. For backports of recent datalad release use neurodebian -- see http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/datalad.html . That is what https://www.datalad.org/get_datalad.html#neuro-debian-ubuntu-and-similar-systems recommends and we should just point that page to http://handbook.datalad.org/en/latest/intro/installation.html which would contain more up to date and complete instructions

Thanks for your prompt feedback. My use case involved provisioning google cloud shell with Datalad. Even after adding the Neurodebian repository,...

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neurodebian.sources.list http://neuro.debian.net/lists/buster.us-nh.full

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 0xA5D32F012649A5A9

apt-get update

...it was not possible to do a Datalad install. The cloudshell VM found Datalad 0.14, but the install could not finish, because of something called "popularity contest" that caused it to hang ; (. This was despite using the most automated quiet install we could identify:

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install datalad

(all of this in green has to go into a .customize_environment file for google cloud shell)

Interestingly, this automated install (DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install datalad) did work correctly on a test Debian buster 10 machine where we ran as root, so I guess I have to blame Google Cloud Shell....but I thought you should know.

In the end, I used the miniconda route, and that seems to be working nicely.

Is there any possibility that you will offer Datalad in a Docker container in the future? I like the singularity container, but could not find a comparable Docker container.

Thanks for your time. I think Datalad is really exciting and I follow your progress.
