The main glue conda packages are built on conda-forge:
- https://github.com/conda-forge/glue-core-feedstock
- https://github.com/conda-forge/glue-vispy-viewers-feedstock
- https://github.com/conda-forge/glueviz-feedstock
However, we don't want users to necessarily have to add conda-forge as a channel since there are a lot of channels there, and some could cause incompatibilities with the defaults channel. Since the glue packages are pure-Python, we can easily just copy the builds from conda-forge to the glueviz channel and tell users to use the glueviz channel instead.
This repository includes a sync.py script that uses the anaconda.org API to make sure that all glue packages in conda-forge are present in the glueviz conda channel. Users can then install glue with:
conda install -c glueviz glueviz
Travis is set to run as a daily cron job (and the build only takes about a minute), and this required the BINSTAR_TOKEN environment variable to be set as a private token via the Travis settings page.
To run the sync manually, simply clone this repository and type:
./sync.sh
