Dear all, TL;DR: Now that RDKit builds are available on conda-forge, I would like to stop doing builds on the rdkit conda channel. I'm looking for feedback about that here.
Thanks to the persistence of Peter St John and Matt Swain, the RDKit is now available on conda-forge: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/rdkit/files If you take a look, you'll find builds for Mac, Linux, and Windows together with multiple versions of Python. The build/deployment steps are all automated. It's really cool! Given that these packages now exist, I don't see much value in continuing to also host standard RDKit builds in the rdkit conda channel. So I would propose that we switch to using conda-forge as the primary channel for doing RDKit builds/distributions. Having the automated process available would save me a lot of time and remove the chance for me to make a mistake while doing the builds.[1] If we go this way, I will update the documentation to point to conda-forge and will only do the occasional nightly or beta build in the rdkit conda channel. Does anyone have any objections to this or see any problems that it might cause? Many thanks to Matt and Peter for making the conda-forge builds happen! -greg [1] As fun as these are, I think I can live without them. ;-)
