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?
