Are these the only dependencies? They are all on conda-forge already, so this could also maybe be put there |
Yes, these are the only dependencies. Putting this on conda has been a long-standing to do, so we'd definitely want to finally do that. |
I think for a lot of the "doing software infrastructure right" sorts of things, it would be good to have more junior people do them, with advice/from the more senior developers (Matt/Pascal) - Matt and Pascal know how to do things like that already, others should learn the skills. |
That's a good idea - unfortunately, I went ahead and got it started before seeing this, but there is still some work to be done. This is actually my first time putting something on conda-forge, which is quite a different setup than hosting on personal/organization channels. That being said, if anybody is interested in the packaging side of things, I am happy to pass this on to them conda-forge/staged-recipes#11370 |
Before adding to conda forge, |
Agreed, I think it may even be worthwhile to do a new release after some of these tweaks and before pushing it to conda-forge |
Agreed on polishing things a bit and then making a release. |
@SimonBoothroyd Part of the code is currently in the GROMACS repo - the package was shipped with GROMACS before it became a stand-alone package and has not yet been removed. (When we have a stable release, I'll make sure that GROMACS gets the package from pip rather than shipping an outdated version.) At the time, we chose the same license as GROMACS to keep things simple. Licensing can certainly be rediscussed - should probably be a separate issue where we can discuss and come to a conclusion. |
Well, if it's your first time doing things, then I think that's an appropriate thing to take on. :) There will be a lot of things like CI setup that can be done by others. At this point, I'd focus mostly on brainstorming ideas of what can be done, and then people in the group can choose once it's laid out and Pascal has organized. |
Agreed. And we can license it differently to different people. |
Might be interesting to see what happens when other style bots like LGTM are thrown at this. Some linting stuff leans aesthetic but there can be some practical value in the alerts from LGTM |
I typically find |
To what extent is there interest or need for additional functionality beyond checking ensembles, integrators and kinetic energy distributions? Personally, I'd like to stay away from the more mundane things (no offense) like converting and porting code and package development. Those tasks would likely be of greater benefit to somebody who will end up applying those skills to their PhD project. I'm mostly thinking in terms of what I can reasonably contribute in the limited time I have left in the lab without detracting from the goals I want to achieve before passing off my PhD work. Would it make any sense to incorporate calculations of physical properties like viscosity and diffusivity, calculated according to best practices per livecoms? These could be simple checks to make sure that, in addition to preserving the thermodynamic ensemble, we are maintaining the expected kinetics. |
I can help with the documentation and providing examples. |
