Hi all, people in the Python world (and others) have gotten used to use the conda package manager. I think it could be an excellent venue for ROS packages as well. Some of conda's strength: - True dependency resolution with SAT solving, that makes sure that all packages have the correct packages and versions in place and - Built-in environment management that would make it easy to install different ROS versions side-by-side and switch between them - Conda ships real binaries for all major platforms (including a compiler) so it works on all Linux distros, as well as Windows and OS X - Low barrier of entry to package building since it's a yaml based format that's a lot more accessible than debian (less secure because no package signing though) I am curious to hear the opinion of the crowd. Also if someone else is interested in this I would be happy to team up for this. Maybe someone knows what the best starting points would be? --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/ros-packages-on-conda-conda-forge/7553/1) or reply to this email to respond.
