Hi Julians!
I am the author and currently only maintainer of the Conda.jl package.
This package is a thin wrapper on top of the `conda` package manager,
well known in the Python community.
This package bring to Julia the ability to install native (binary) and
Python dependencies in a cross-platform way, without any administrative
rights. It is used by the PyCall.jl package to install Python if no
other installation is found, and a lot of other packages with complex
dependencies. As such, Conda.jl gets around 200 downloads a day, and is
an important builiding block of the Julia ecosystem, especially on Windows.
Unfortunatly, as I am not using Julia anymore, I do not have much time
to continue maintaining this package, and I'd like to someone else to
take over this repository.
I plan to stay around for 6 month helping the new maintainer(s?) to work
with the code. The code itself is very simple, less than 300 lines of
code. This code do not need specific knowledge, only to read the
documentation of `conda`. A bit of understanding of native libraries and
dependencies can help, but can be aquired on the fly.
If you want to help, or are just want to get more informations, please
contact me by email at lut...@luthaf.fr.
Best regards,
