Hi hepsw team,
I wanted to reach out because I've been developing a project also called HepSW (https://hepsw.readthedocs.io/) that addresses similar problems in the HEP software space, and I recently discovered your organization.
My project: HepSW is a source-first, reproducible build framework for HEP software stacks. It focuses on explicit build recipes, dependency management, and deterministic reconstruction from source rather than relying on pre-built binaries.
Your project: I see you've created excellent containerization tools (docks, cubie, dmux) for packaging HEP software environments.
I wanted to notify you about this overlap for a few reasons:
- Naming: We share the "hepsw" name ;)
- Complementary approaches: Your container-based distribution could actually be a natural deployment target for source-based builds
- Potential collaboration: If you're still active or planning to resume work, there might be synergies worth exploring
I noticed the repos haven't been updated since 2016-2018. If the project is dormant, I completely understand - I just wanted to be transparent about my work and see if you'd be interested in discussing approaches and possibly making HepSW better.
Would love to hear your thoughts if you're still around!
Best,
Amir
