ENH: Would you consider making q available through conda?

[Sann5]

I would like to use q in a cluster environment. However, the cluster does not support brew but it supports conda (there are ways of making q work but it's a dirty solution). I believe the process of building a package and making it available in conda is relatively uncomplicated. Would you consider doing so? I could also do it and link this repo for credits if that is something you would be okay with.

Thanks for the great tool! Cheers!

Hi @Sann5 sorry for missing this message, just saw it now, crazy times.

Adding q to conda would be great. I'm not sure about the specifics though, so I'd really appreciate it if you can do it and link this repo and the q site if possible.

Would be great if you can send me the PR that you create for doing it, so i can understand a bit about the process and the concept.

@harelba should I sign you up as one of the maintainers of the conda-forge recipe (a GitHub repo that will be in charge of publishing q in conda)? Or someone else? There will be SPAM from conda-forge. I will also sign up as a maintainer for the time being.

[harelba]

No need to sign me up as a maintainer for now. Once you get tired from being a maintainer, please ping me and I'll take over as needed.

Can you please send me the relevant PR for conda-forge, so i can take a quick look at it?

[Sann5]

For sure. I'll ping you when the PR is pending for review.

@harelba I require merging of the above PR and bumping the version before I continue with the conda recipe.

@Sann5 Sorry for the delayed responses, too many things in parallel, and times are a bit crazy.

My knowledge regarding python packaging structure is limited, I really appreciate your effort on this.
