Debian repository? #7

Open magnunor opened 6 years ago

magnunor commented 6 years ago

I'm planning on getting HyperSpy into the Debian repository, to make installation a bit easier for Debian/Ubuntu users. (https://github.com/hyperspy/hyperspy/issues/455)

To do this, all the dependencies (requirements) also has to be in the repository, and one of these are mrcz.

Are there any plans to get mrcz packaged into the debian repository? I'm guessing it would be fairly straight forward, since both numpy and blosc is already there.

I do not have any plans to package mrcz into Debian, as I generally prefer to encourage people to use virtual environments and package managers like pip and conda.

If you would like to package mrcz into Debian, you would have my blessing and support. mrcz itself is pure Python, so it should be fairly trivial. I don't expect that I would ever make a breaking change as I'm generally pretty mindful of downstream packages.

Sounds good! I'll give it a go in a few week.
