Hi,

Yes, I may try again to use it when the ecoystem and the languages are a bit more stable. I am OK with the JuliaPy organization, but Conda.jl can also be used for pure C/C++/Fortran dependencies, without any link to Python.

Hi Luthaf,

Sorry to hear that you are not using Julia anymore. Hopefully you will come back in the future.

I am wondering if we should create a JuliaPy organization and move many important building blocks and python wrapper packages there, if the various authors think it is a good idea.

    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 <mailto:lut...@luthaf.fr>.

    Best regards,
