conda package

[HubLot]

Hi,

This a first step to create a conda package for pbxplore.

Meta.yaml

The main file is the meta.yaml one which describes how to build and test pbxplore for conda. So far, the version number is set manually and the build against the master on github. An improvement will be to generate the version number (to be synced with the pypi) and build the package against a tag ( with the git_tag instead of git_branch).

How to build?

• conda build --python 2.7 -c bioconda -c mdanalysis pbxplore (assuming you're in the conda_build directory)
• This should create a tar.bz2 and conda give you the path at the end of the process.
• Generate a package for all platforms : conda convert --platform all /path/to/archive/pbxplore-1.3.1-py27_0.tar.bz2 (this will generate archive for linux 32/64b, windows 32/64b and osx 64b)

  How to upload?

• First, create an account on https://anaconda.org/ and login through the anaconda login command.
• anaconda upload /path/to/archive/pbxplore-1.3.1-py27_0.tar.bz2
• do this for all archives generated

I give it a try and upload a version with python 2.7 : https://anaconda.org/Hub_lot/pbxplore I will remove it once @pierrepo have done it to avoid confusion

So far, I managed to build conda package for python 2.7 only. I have a weird error when I try a different version of python (--python 3.4 for example). Maybe one of you can try.

TODO list

• [ ] Automatically update the version and git_tag value when uploading a new version (with a script)
• [x] Figure out how to build against another version of python.
• [x] At some point, a "How to release" file will be great to remember the different steps for pypi, conda and the docs

For version number update, bumpversion [1] should do the trick (thanks to Benoist Laurent).

Here, the PR for conda. I managed to build conda package for all versions of Python (2.7 to 3.5). The main job is to generate the package for the good version of python then generate packages for all plateforms. For Bumpversion, I'll try it and make a new PR.

@pierrepo did you manage to create anaconda packages and upload them to the website?

[pierrepo]

Not yet. I have to install anaconda first ;-)
