Open Source and Free Software enthusiast. I hack on or am interested in The Anaconda Distribution, MSYS2, MinGW-w64, Android tooling, Qt Creator, Arch Linux, crosstool-ng, Clang+LLVM and GCC.
conda, although written in Python, is language (and somewhat OS) agnostic. We provide lots of C, C++, R and Rust packages as well as Python ones.
Bazel is the bane of every software packager who needs to use it and who does not work for Google. GN (or whatever it's actually called) is a close second in terms of horridness and NIH-ness, then GYP (and depot_tools…
And that is also awful in so many other ways.
I disagree. tcl/tk is written in C and C can be compiled in very very badly indeed (from a security perspective).
You can use `conda install rust_osx-64` on macOS and `conda install rust_linux-64` to use `cargo` with the Anaconda Distribution libraries and tools (including its compilers).
.. because it's (relatively speaking) brand new?
If you haven't seen it, also checkout Project LIEF. It is very good indeed. We use it for a lot of post-build binary verification in the conda ecosystem. Windows, macOS and Linux are all supported.…
A lot of the credit for the Windows version should go to MSYS2. They provide all the libraries used here (including GTK).
RStudio uses it.
There's no such requirement at all, but it's a noble goal and one every package developer should strive for.
Great I'll try it out, I always meant to but never got round to it. Does it work on macOS or Windows yet? What's the oldest Linux distro upon which it will run? Not sure we constantly try to sell our Enterprise product.…
I agree that providing toolchains is very important. The only non-system package manager that provides Python and its own toolchains - for Linux and macOS presently - which are used to compile every C, C++ and Fortran…
You are completely right. I apologize.
ggreer: I have no grudge, hopefully ag will continue to be a success for its users but it'd be lovely if people could contribute to making it even more of a success. I believe there are some easy ways to achieve that…
OK sure, but would you consider merging one PR that explains that people should not expect PRs to get reviewed? I'm happy to do the work if you'll review and merge it. That way we can avoid unfortunate incidents such as…
In what way is updating README.md difficult? Please have as much respect for contributors and potential contributors as you seem to have for maintainers. They're all people after all and their free time is equally…
I respectfully disagree with you. I wasted perhap 10 hours of my life or more on this PR (pointlessly rebasing it a few times). 95 other PRs are outstanding. There are many ways to improve this situation. I pointed two…
You don't want to waste your own precious time but are more than happy for many other people to waste theirs? Also you merged commits starting from 24 Dec 2011 and ending on 18th August. Presumably you saw value in…
You answered none of my explicit questions. Hopefully a maintainer with a sense of community and responibility will fork the silver searcher.
So it's not really an open source project in any meaningful way? Do you consider it reasonable for people to waste their time making PRs and working trying to help you to improve the silver searcher? Could you put…
Can we talk about slow maintainers here instead? Can you explain why you never responded to https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher/pull/619 despite me asking you to several times over the course of many years?
Do you use Anaconda's R. If so I'd like to know of any rough edges (package count being a known one we're looking to address). Thanks.
Packages installed from different distros will conflict all over the place, this is silly, please don't add conda despite my other comment!
Where's conda?
So this is literally monetisation [1] based on the work of Homebrew [2]? [1] https://github.com/feramhq/cli-apps/blob/master/git/main.yam... [2] https://github.com/feramhq/cli-apps/blob/master/git/main.yam...
