Conda packages for various open source radar packages

[jjhelmus]

This issue is not precisely Py-ART related but I wanted to keep a check list of all the open source weather radar packages that I want to create conda packages for on conda-forge.

Py-ART and dependencies

• [x] Py-ART
• [x] TRMM RSL
• [x] CyLP (and a version which supports Python 3?)
• [x] CBC
• [ ] cvxopt (with GLPK support)
• [ ] GLPK (may need multiple version)
• [ ] pyglpk (and the fork which supports Python 3?)

Py-ART "extensions"

• [x] ARTView
• [ ] PyTDA
• [ ] SingleDop
• [ ] DualPol
• [ ] PyBlock

Other open source radar tools

• [x] wradlib
• [ ] MMM-Py
• [ ] CSU_RadarTools
• [ ] RadX

I'm leaving BALTRAD off this list for now, making conda packages of all the components of BALTRAD would be quite a undertaking.

Once complete is should be possible to install any of these packages in conda using conda install -c conda-forge package_name.

Let me know if I can help with any of the packages I am responsible for.

FYI, I think CSU_RadarTools is not Windows-compatible because it has a Fortran component to speed up the KDP processing, although there is a slower, non-Fortran branch available on its GitHub.

@tjlang My focus right now is trying to get the GLPK related packages up but I'll give you a shout when I am ready to package up your packages. If you could tag a release in each of them that would help a lot as it would give a target to point conda build at.

@jjhelmus OK, will work on a release tag. Probably won't happen until late April, however.
