conda-forge package #10

Closed maartenbreddels closed 3 years ago

maartenbreddels commented 3 years ago

Have you considered making a conda-forge package: https://conda-forge.org/ I'm happy to help set this up. Basically it's following this: https://conda-forge.org/#add_recipe

oconnor663 commented 3 years ago

Haven't heard of it before. What does it do?

maartenbreddels commented 3 years ago

Conda and mamba are package managers, think of it like apt-get for windows/linux/osx, with real dependency solver, and more than Python, so also compilers/system libraries etc. It also allows the creation of environments, so isolated tree's with their own lib/include/bin dir etc. It's popular for Python, but can be used outside. For instance, the Python graphviz package has a graphviz dependency, such that you don't have to rely on the system to have it (for windows you can imagine this being an order of magnitude more important).

Regarding maintainance, if you release on pypi, a bot picks it up, and it will be rebuild, if all goes well, you merge the PR, and the release on conda-forge will happen automatically.

PS: conda-forge is a channel on conda, which is maintained by the community, and very large.

oconnor663 commented 3 years ago

Is there anything in-tree here that we'd need to do to support such a package? I'd be happy to look at a PR if this is something you're interested in working on.

maartenbreddels commented 3 years ago

https://pypi.org/project/grayskull/ might be a good start to generate the recipe

maartenbreddels commented 3 years ago

no, nothing in-tree, this is an external recipe, that in general will be auto-updated by a bot. Do you want me to generate a recipe and add you as a maintainer?

oconnor663 commented 3 years ago

Sounds good. I don't know if I'll be able to do any actual work as a maintainer, but I appreciate the nod :-D

maartenbreddels commented 3 years ago

It is available on conda forge now:

$ conda install -c conda-forge blake3
