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.
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).
.. 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).
There's no such requirement at all, but it's a noble goal and one every package developer should strive for.
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…
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.
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!
Why not order your takeaway from a good Indian restaurant? All the ones around here provide such a service.
Compiler flags mostly.
And the notion that a garbage collector should ever be part of a game engine (or anywhere near it) is frankly baffling to me. .. unless you're making some turn based thing.
I don't understand the nature of your discourse. You agreed that maintaining software distros is not easy, some recommended conda and you seem dismissive again?
We are a rolling Software Distribution and providing up to date software is one of our main goals. Another is building that software with good security flags, see:…
It solves this already and has done for many years (but this depends on what you mean exactly by "the way that Nix does").
And what is to stop someone from pushing malicious code to GitHub and you guys distributing malicious packages to end-users via your 'stable' channel? And who's liable here?
> I'm not really familiar with the latest trends in (bloatware?) development, but a simple game like that taking >100MB would make me suspicious This is very much the idea of these awful (IMHO) ways of distributing…
Glad to hear it. We take these matters very seriously, including good hardening flags etc: https://www.anaconda.com/blog/developer-blog/improved-securi...
