For something like this, I'm wondering if it would be better to use the pre-compiled binaries from upstream. That's the route I took for *pandoc*, for example: https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/P/pandoc/build_tarballs.jl

Yeah, pandoc does not provide an arm/mac binary download. Presumably they don't have the hardware to build that. You could try asking them?

So to me, the biggest reason to use Spark.jl is the ability to run Julia UDFs in a distributed fashion. That is, we use Spark to partition the data among...

I looked at spark-submit a few years ago when I worked on this package, and it seemed too complicated -- I did not really understand how it worked. The way...

I think option 1 is the only reasonable way forward. 2, as you say, makes this somewhat pointless, and 3 is a research project that will not be feasible for...

I'd done a waf build some time ago. Seemed to work .. (eventually) . You have to set the `TARGET` as an environment variable for it to cross compile. https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/5a60d85753ba42375ae10c454f0651c81284cc7b/M/mpv/build_tarballs.jl

Github actions tests are running after #6

So this package wraps the original [C libsvm library](https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/). To fix this, it would be necessary to check if the issue is in the underlying C library, or in the...

So when I had thought about this earlier, my idea was to use reflection (and some heuristics) to infer the argument types (and thus the exact method), but then cache...

Yes, that's the idea. It's just that we've not had the time to implement this.
