conda packaging solution has to be extended to support linux and windows

[tpaviot]

In the conda REAME.md file, conda support is presented as a wip. In order to complete this work, 2 things are necessary:

• explain, in the documentation, how to use the yaml, build.sh and other files that are made available in the pythonocc-core source repository. Indeed, to install pythonocc-core on its own machine, only the REAME.md file is necessary. The documentation has to explain how to compile and upload new binaries to a shared location. This would allow users to contribute binaries ;
• so far, this work is osx specific. It has to be ported to linux and windows. Actually, this is on these platforms, and not osx, that distributing binaries is the more difficult.

I tag this issue as 0.16.0. If ever this is not possible to be achieved within this week, I will move the conda code to another branch, merged will be delayed to the 0.17.0 milestone.

Linux could be handled but I'm not sure at all for Windows.

ok, so the files build.sh and meta.yml are osx specific that's it ? If yes, they should be moved to conda/osx. I then imagine that we should have to create a conda/linux folder with specific linux files, am I right ? Another question: what is the process to build/upload binaries using these files (I don't have much time right now to look for the question in the conda project documentation).

[jf---]

build.sh and meta.yaml will cover posix, eg osx + linux.
conda specifies architecture, platform and python version, so its IMHO much better to have a single set of files ( build.sh and meta.yaml ) to cover posix.

the other day I've adapted the build script to support both python 2.7 and 3.4

Adapting the script for linux should be just another few lines ( thanks to cmake )

Regarding uploading to binstar:

After a succesful build, the last line in the shell output is a command to upload the package to binstar.
Its "binstar upload "

What also work is to set your preference to upload to binstar after a succesful build

conda config --set binstar_upload true

[jf---]

Let's make windows support for 0.17 and finish posix for 0.16
Its important to make tasks managable... as they say, divide & conquer

[tpaviot]

ok for posix Linux/OSX for 0.16, and delay windows support. Can you please take care of that ?

[jf---]

With pleasure...

@jf--- latest update is 4 days old. can this be achieved by this evening (tue oct. 28) ?

[jf---]

So, this will take me a full day...
Mind you that the dependencies of OCE ( freetype, tbb, freeimage, gl2ps ) also have to be build on linux plus getting familiar with the dev environment. So this won't be done today...

[tpaviot]

ok, let's take time to make it more mature and get familiar with that. I move the conda related code to a dev branch. It does not change the fact that your binary repos can be used to download/install on osx.
