This is on conda-forge as meds already: https://github.com/conda-forge/meds-feedstock I am skeptical this name will change. However, you may be able to specify the meds by using a git url in the requirements file per the pip/setuptools docs. |
Assume I want to create a package that depends on esheldon/meds. I cannot tell my users "install meds from conda or from source" — I want to tell my users to |
I never intended for the meds package to be public, it was always for internal DES use. I'm actually surprised anyone else is using it. On the other hand it is used in production for all the 1) deblending in DES 2) flux measurements in DES 3) shear measurements in DES. A 100 million dollar DOE project depends on it for most of its key projects. It just doesn't make sense to me to rename the package. I would put the odds that a user would require this package and the other meds, which is completely unrelated and appears to be abandoned, as negligible. Given these considerations, I don't think it makes sense to rename it. But we could perhaps make a pypi entry that is called something different, such as fits_meds, but it gets installed as meds. Again, I see very little chance that this would cause a real world collision |
There is a name collision with this package and the "meds" package located here:
https://pypi.org/project/meds/
This is problematic for a few reasons.
I am unable to place "meds" in a
requirements.txt
file as the usual machinery will pull the package above.Adding
esheldon/meds
to an automated build environment, e.g. Docker, is notably more complicated.Perhaps
fits_meds
might be more appropriate and reflective of the functionality?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
