Adding package to conda-forge #6

Closed dhimmel closed 4 years ago

dhimmel commented 7 years ago

Would be great to be able to specify ggridges in a conda environment.yml. I know building conda packages can be kind of a pain, but it make using the package (at a specific version) easier.

My understanding is that this process would start with a pull request to https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes. I don't have time for this now, but perhaps would consider it in a few months, if I start using Ridgeline Plots frequently.

Does anybody actually use conda with R? What's wrong with install.packages()?

I'm not opposed to this, it's just not very high on my own priority list.

I do! It solves many prickly problems like environments with both Python and R and versioned R environments. Most popular R packages have been built for conda-forge... demonstrating people are using it (otherwise they wouldn't put in the effort). For example, even cowplot is on conda-forge.

Makes sense given priorities. Also given that the repo is openly licensed, it wouldn't matter whether you were opposed it (the beauty of open source) :wink:. I'll take a deeper look when I have time.

Maybe the solution then is to have cowplot auto-import ggridges. :-)

In any case, I've been thinking about breaking cowplot into separate, more focused packages and then turn cowplot a meta-package, like tidyverse, so this may make sense at some point.

Closing this, as ggridges seems to be on conda-forge by now.
