Packaging #29

Open arteymix opened 7 years ago

arteymix commented 7 years ago

I'm not much for dumping packaging into a project repository, but I wrote a RPM specfile for distributing Vast on Fedora, CentOS and other distributions.

The convenient approach with specfiles is to store them in a separate repository where then can be tracked and built on-demand: https://github.com/valum-framework/specfiles

We could setup a Copr repository for Vast and distribute packages related to numerical computation. I think people using CentOS (like at my lab) would be quite happy with that.

For Copr, we can install Meson in the repository to have an up-to-date version and target more distributions.

That's a very good idea. We also shall have a somewhat recent version of vala there too. You look into that?

arteymix commented 7 years ago

Fedora always ship a recent version and Ubuntu has a ppa. It's up to us to target minimal requirements.

For Meson, we're fine, 0.36 is on 24, 25, and 26 ;)

Basically, we want to target EPEL 7 and other scientific Linux distribution.
