Hi,
I needed conda for something, found the current packaging progress and
fiddled a bit to get it to build.
The things I found that needed to be fixed:
conda has an undeclared dependency on distutils that I needed to add to
the package dependency
the conda/shell/bin/conda entry point was using the shebang
"#!/usr/bin/env python" which on Debian assumes python 2.
I added a patch to make it "#!/usr/bin/env python3" though I'm not sure
how that's going to work in conda environments?
conda/shell/bin/conda needs to be executable, which the standard Debian
dh_install step removes the x bit from anything going into
/usr/lib/python3/dist-package
For the run-test command I found the
"source /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/conda/shell/bin/activate"
line also needed CONDA_EXE to be set.
I also found (when testing in an autopkgtest shell that conda create
was a problem when running as root because it really wanted to install
files into the already existing directory /usr/pkgs and conda reported
a warning when being run as root.
To work correctly I believe conda create needs a non-root user with a
home directory to create it's configuration files in.
Since the default autopkgtest runner doesn't have network access, I
changed the run-test to running
"conda config"
(which doesn't report anything since there's no root configuration) and
"conda help"
I'm attaching the patches I made for discussion but I can push them to
the debian-med repository if everyone's ok with that.
Diane
