[Numpy-discussion] Staging Biopython wheels on Anaconda.org, was: Replacement for Rackspace
Hi Matti, If your offer still stands, I'd like to transition Biopython from the donated Rackspace storage to Anaconda as discussed a few weeks back. I presume this means updating the WHEELHOUSE credentials in our multi-wheel repository, both for TravisCI and AppVeyor? https://github.com/biopython/biopython-wheels Do you need any other information from me, or the Biopython team? Thank you, Peter, (On behalf of Biopython) On Tue, Aug 11, 2020 at 6:34 AM Matti Picus wrote: > > On 8/11/20 12:39 AM, Peter Cock wrote: > > Hi Matti, > > Is this an open invitation to the wider Numpy ecosystem?
